One day Fiona took Marcus to SPAT. SPAT is an organization for single parents.

easy way to meet woman and take her on a date maybe. Will lied about having a
child. After a while Marcus discovered that Will did not have a kid. Marcus hangs
around Wills apartment a lot. In the beginning Will thinks it’s annoying, but when
Marcus Mother Fiona tried to commit suicide, Marcus draw will into his life. At first
Will didn’t want to get involved in the life of Marcus and Fiona, because then he gets
responsible for things and he is not Marcus his father. Later he does get involved in
their lives and he gets used to it, he actually likes being around them. In the
meantime Marcus wants to show Will how to act like an adult, because Marcus finds
the behaviour of Will as if he’s a little boy. On the other hand is Will helping Marcus
how to act like an normal child, they go to the hairdresser and Marcus gets new
sneakers from Will.
At school marcus gets to know a girl, Ellie. Ellie likes Kurt Cobain. Marcus and Ellie

and thinks that it’s wrong that Marcus spends so much time with Will.she forbid
Marcus to spend more time with Will. But Marcus ignored his mother, and still
spends time with Will. Marcus and Will grow closer and closer. Fiona's worries have
decreased, making her feel less depressed. At the end of the book, Marcus and Ellie

Clive, ellie’s idol Kurt Cobain died and she was a little depressed and sad about that.
Eventually they end uit at a police station, because Ellie did something bad. Marcus

Characters
Marcus: Marcus is a twelve year old boy and lives with his mother in Londen after
his parents divorced. He acts a little strange, doesn’t have a lot of friend at his new
school in London, because of his behaviour. His Mother fiona is a hippie, Marcus
gets a little bit affected by that. You can see it back in his clothing style, their food,
and his choice of music. Through all of this he gets bullied at school.
Fiona: Fiona is the mother of Marcus. She’s a little unstable and she became a little
depressed by all the worries after the divorce. Fiona lives as a Hippie. after the
divorce Fiona moved to London with Marcus to start a new live. In london she joint
the SPAT club, a club for single parents.
Will: Will is a thirty-six year old men, but behaves like a little boy. he is a hip and rich
guy because of his father. He joins the SPAT club, without even having a child. He
just wants to meet single women. Will is a bit egoistic, and lies a lot.
4. I think Marcus is a very smart and attractive boy, because he overthinks the things
he does. Marcus also has to go through all the worse things with the divorce of his
parents and the suicide attempt by his mother. His new friend Will helped him to get
through it, and get over all. I find it very special to have a friend like Will. A friend who
will support you no matter what happens in your life.
