Description
A funny and touching story about nine-year-old Cymbeline Igloo who turns detective to discover the family secret that has led to his mother’s breakdown.
Cymbeline Igloo has never been swimming – not ever, not once – so challenging the class bully to a race during their first school swimming lesson was never going to go down well.
When Cymbeline nearly drowns, his mother has a nervous breakdown and ends up in hospital. Why? Why has she never taken him anywhere near water?
Cymbeline follows a series of clues to find the answer, helped by an eclectic bunch of friends. What he finally discovers is as shocking as it is unexpected, and it turns Cymbeline’s life on its head.
Adam Baron is Nick Hornby for 9-year-olds. A distinctive new talent with direct child appeal. As humorous as it is emotional.
