He tracks him down to the seamy side of town and an underworld that has no place in modern society. A second thought-provoking book from this lively new author. A wonderfully original story to follow this author's debut as a children's author with Wipe Out. As in Wipe Out, the book follows a child through a difficult journey but humour and hope spreads through the novel, giving it that feel-good factor at the end. Jack decides to track down his father when his mother announces she is to re-marry. Jack is a bit of a geek -- he's a whizz-kid into nutritional values of food and goes to a school for gifted children. It's this that introduces the element of humour to the novel, through his friendships at school with other equally gifted kids. During Jack's search, he befriends a homeless Big Issue seller, plus dog, and a Black soul singer and soul music is a feature of the novel. The two men try to dissuade Jack from finding his father, since they know he lives with the a 'no-good bunch of hobos' who live on the streets, funded by crime and even child abuse. Written in Mimi Thebo's distinctive voice, this second novel is sure to attract att\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47892165460119,"sku":"9780007142798","price":970.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780007142798.webp?v=1781185947","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/thebo-m-hit-the-road-jack-9780007142798","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
