Milo and the restart button - Alan Silberberg

Milo is nearly 13, has just moved house and started a new school (both for the umpteenth time) - him and his dad and sister are trying to adjust to life without Milo's mum, who has died, but they aren't coping very well and no-one is really talking about it. It's not all doom and gloom though, I promise. It's a tough subject, but dealt with a light touch and plenty of sparky humour - it's actually really, really funny, and interspersed throughout with cartoon illustrations that provide easier access to the tough issues and engage readers in a different way. The book is never heavy or preachy - sensitive and sad, yes, but
ultimately a hugely entertaining read.
