Rosie and Don are back! They have returned to Australia after a decade in New York. Their son Hudson is almost 11. Don's dad is dying of cancer, Rosie is having troubles with her boss, but the focus of their attention is Hudson. Hudson is having problems in school. Things Don can relate to because they are similar to HIS school years. Don embarks on the Hudson project...to try to get Hudson the skills he needs to fit in and enjoy school more. I mean, this is the simplest of explanations about the plot but there is so much more going on. Don tackles projects with logic and a plan but he is willing to re-calibrate and change his approach. He remembers all the advice HIS dad gave him and his feeling about much of it so he understands Hudson's reactions. I enjoyed reconnecting with all of the characters and enjoyed every quirky minute of this book.
