Where are the Kings

Jack is just twelve years old when he rushes down the hill after his mother's car
on his bike, desperate to reach her before she reaches the lake.
What happens next cannot be undone. Jack's life changes just at the moment
he is entering those dizzying years when he will transition from boy to man;
when nothing makes sense at the best of times.
Yet Jack is not alone. Enveloped as he is by his extended family - his
ferociously loving Nana; Grandad, given to sudden bursts of rage; his earthy
uncles Haulie and Theo who want to show him what it means to be a man, and
the irascible JJ who resents him deeply. Then there is beautiful aunt Rose,
whose mere presence ignites every atom in his changing body.
But how can a boy with so many questions, in a family with so many secrets,
understand the person he is becoming? Without his mother to ground him on
the earth, will he spin off into the stars
