(2) 4-6 When Grandad dies, eleven-year-old runner AJ loses both his coach and the person who kept his household operating--AJ's parents both have learning difficulties, and Grandad always looked after their finances and house maintenance. Now, ill-equipped as he is, AJ feels he must take on that role. This sensitive story of sorrow and anxiety, humor and family affection, develops gradually in Durrant's alertness to small, important moments in everyday life.
