Beautiful touching black comedy about a boy called Ossie who’s father dies not long after he has left Ossie’s mother for a younger woman. Ossie’s Mum is worried that he hasn’t cried properly, his sister calls him Dirtbag and sends him horrible emails, he’s in love with his sister’s best mate Daniela and he wants to see Sue (the girlfriend) because he really liked her but he knows it will upset his mum. Enter Taz, a hyperactive girl he meets at the psychologist who plays cricket in the nets with her Dad(just like Ossie used to with his Dad) Lovely, touching and funny.
p.56-60 Ossie goes to the psych (the “Kneel” incident!) ( )
