A series of events binds three people together on a road trip that takes them from the south coast of WA to Kalgoorlie and along the Nullarbor to the edge of the continent. Millie wants to find her mum. Karl wants to find out how to be a man. And Agatha just wants everything to go back to how it was.

I wanted to like this book, but it just wasn't good. I had to force myself to finish it, only to find the ending just as disappointed as the book. I did not care for the way it was written. The book is quirky and different, just not my kind of different.

Quirky. Mixed feelings about how to position this - definitely adult but with rework and absence of Agatha could be quite a tragi-comic book for younger people. Listened to the audio book so didn't have an issue with the punctuation and direct speech that other reviewers had

An irresistible and heartfelt debut novel about the wisdom of the very young, the mischief of the very old, and the magic that happens along the way Millie Bird, seven-years old and ever hopeful, always wears red gumboots to match her curly hair. Her struggling mother, grieving the death of Millie's father, leaves her in the big ladies' underwear department of a local store and never returns. Agatha Pantha, eighty-two, has not left her house - or spoken to another human being - since she was widowed seven years ago. She fills the silence by yelling at passersby, watching loud static on the TV, and maintaining a strict daily schedule. Karl the Touch Typist, eighty-seven, once used his fingers to type out love notes on his wife's skin. Now that she's gone, he types out his words into the air as he speaks. Karl's been committed to a nursing home, but in a moment of clarity and joy, he escapes. Now he's on the lam. United at a fateful moment, the three embark upon a road trip to find Millie's mother. Together they will discover that old age is not the same as death, that the young can be wise, and that letting yourself feel sad once in a while just might be the key to a happy life.

I have seen this book in other blogs and vlogs and I just keep hearing good things about this book.

It is quirky,Entertaining, quick and easy book that is different from what I would usually read. 

I liked this book and I read this one in an afternoon . I found that the ending took me by surprise because it just kind of happened with no warning and no real conclusion to events. 

I am glad I read it though.
