A mother, two boys and crutches . . .
'. . . His leg looked normal, no bones sticking out, no blood, no ragged flesh. Boring! The hospital was cool: lots of beds on wheels flying around and heaps of stuff to look at.'
What happens when a 12 year old, just starting to gain his independence, breaks his leg so badly that he has a six month recovery period at home with his mum? 'Give Me A Break' is an engaging and humorous account of disrupted family life.
Written from the perspective of mum (Colette), injured son (Sam) and on-looker son (Charlie) 'Give Me A Break' is a book all parents (and their children) will relate to. The family tensions that emerge at times of fragility are laid bare and with wit and humour Nurse Colette leads her sons through a long six month period with Sam at home.
This book contains parenting advice, and puzzles for the kids at the back!
