This book tells the story of Philip Wright, a 12 -ear-old boy who is dealing with his mother’s serious illness while coming to terms with a new world of school and bullying. Philip does it with great humour as he channels his idol, Harry Hill, and in doing so offers great support not just to his mother, but to the very many people suffering from serious illness. It was shortlisted for the School Library Association Republic of Ireland Great Reads Award (Junior) 2016.
