Lemniscaat, Uitgeverij. Hardback. Pp: 260. Zijn de batterijen van de rookmelder leeg?Heeft de kat, en dus de rest van de familie, wormen?Zal vogelgriep het leven zoals wij het kennen ten ondergang brengen?Is de niervormige vlek op zijn borst eigenlijk een vorm van kanker?Frankie Parsons maakt zich zorgen. Zorgen of alles wel goed komt met hem en zijn familie, want als hij er niet voor zorgt gaat alles mis. Maar wat gebeurt er? Niet de rampen die Frankie vreest. Er komt een nieuw meisje in de klas: Sydney. Ze raken bevriend en Sydney vraagt Frankie de oren van zijn hoofd. Ze stelt vragen over Frankies familie die hij zelf juist probeert te vermijden. Waarom komt zijn moeder nooit buiten? En wat doet zijn vader eigenlijk? Haar vragen brengen Frankies wereld aan het wankelen en deze lijkt helemaal in te storten als Sydney vertelt dat ze weer vertrekt. Frankie blijkt echter veel sterker te zijn dan hij denkt en ontdekt dat achter sommige vragen andere antwoorden verscholen gaan dan hij ooit kon vermoeden.Vreemde vogels is een boek met een hoofdpersoon die je het liefst als beste vriend zou willen hebben: hij is trouw en grappig. Soms zou je hem willen zeggen dat alles wel goed komt, ook als dingen anders in elkaar zitten dan je denkt of zou willen. ISBN: 9789047702467. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

The Ten PM Question

Longacre Press 2009 Paperback, 251pp. Frankie Parsons is twelve going on old man: an apparently sensible, talented Year 8 with a drumbeat of worrying questions steadily gaining volume in his head: Are the smoke alarm batteries flat? Does the cat, and therefore the rest of the family, have worms? Will bird flu strike and ruin life as we know it? Is the kidney-shaped spot on his chest actually a galloping cancer? Most of the significant people in Frankie's world - his father, his brother and sister, his great-aunts, his best friend Gigs - seem gloriously untroubled by worry.Only Ma takes seriously his catalogue of persistent anxieties; only Ma listens patiently to his 10 p.m. queries. But of course, it is Ma who is the cause of the most worrying question of all, the one that Frankie can never bring himself to ask.Then the new girl arrives at school and has questions of her own: relentless, unavoidable questions.So begins the unravelling of Frankie Parson's carefully controlled world. So begins the painful business of fronting up to the unpalatable: the ultimate 10 p.m. question. The 10 pm Question is a novel which defies all age categories. It does so with a sparkling wit and an operatic cast of characters so delightful and maddening they become dear to us. A tender, beautifully told and endearing story. By the end, you'll wish you had a Frankie Parsons of your own. (ISBN: 9781877460203). Very good.
