Joe loves predictability. But his life is about to become a surprising adventure.

Joe-Nathan likes the two parts of his name separate, just like his dinner and dessert. Mean Charlie at work sometimes calls him Joe-Nuthin. But Joe is far from nothing. Joe is a good friend, he’s good at his job, good at making things and good at following the rules, and he’s learning how to do lots of things by himself.

Joe’s mother knows there are a million things in life he isn’t prepared for. While she helps guide him every day, she’s also writing notebooks full of advice about the things she hasn’t told Joe yet, things he might forget and answers to questions he hasn’t yet asked.

Following her wisdom – applying it in his own unique way – this next part of Joe’s life is more of a surprise than he expects. Because he’s about to learn that remarkable things can happen when you leave your comfort zone, and that you can do even the hardest things with a little help from your friends.

My Thoughts:

This is the story about Joe-Nathan and how his life as a grown up is slightly different to everyone else’s but it doesn’t let it stop him. His mum is doing everything she can to make life easier for him, but you know he has a job he likes apart from someone who is mean to him. He sees things in his own way and has a unique way about him. I thought it was a sweet and endearing story, my heart felt full reading about Joe-Nathan, I just wanted to give him a great big hug. I really enjoyed reading this book.
