Little Big Man

Meet 10-year-old Zac -- a boy on a mission -- in Katy Regan's new novel, Little Big Man . . .

Zac has never met his Dad, who allegedly did a runner before he was born. But when his Mum lets slip that he's the only man she's ever loved, Zac turns detective and, roping in his best friend, hatches a plan to find his father and give his Mum the happy-ever-after she deserves. What he doesn't realise, though, is that sometimes people have good reasons for disappearing . . .

Told through Zac's voice, as well as his mother's and grandfather's, Little Big Man is a story about family secrets and single parenting; about bullying, drink problems, diets, dates, and self-image; about grief and lies, and the damage they can do. Most of all, though, it's about a little boy who wants to give the Dad he's never met a second chance to be a father -- and his Mum a second chance at love.
