'In Kate de Goldi's sensitive, vital and hilarious novel, Frankie and the reader walk hand in hand through pages that gleam with hope and humour.' Ursula Dubosarsky
Frankie parsons is twelve going on old man, an apparently sensible, talented boy with a drumbeat of worrying questions steadily gaining volume in his head
Are the smoke alarm batteries flat?
Does the cat, and therefore the rest of the family, have worms?
Will bird flu strike and ruin life as we know it?
Is the Kidney-shaped spot on his chest actually a galloping cancer?
Only Ma takes seriously his catalogue of persistent queries. But it is ma who is the cause of the most worrying question of all, the one that Frankie can never bring himself to ask. Then the new girl arrives at school and has questions of her own relentless, unavoidable questions. So begins the unraveling of Frankie Parsons's carefully controlled world.
'A truly special book. Kate de Goldi's dazzling writing will break your heart and make you wonder, marvel and laugh all at once.' Agnes Nieuwenhuizen

What a superb book this was. The main character is a young boy who is trying to come to grips with why his mother leaves the house. He comes to understand that although his mother has a mental illness she is also a caring loving mother with extraordinary talents and a very supportive family. I think the support system for the family is the only criticism I would have, as research suggests that people with chronic mental illness are not well supported. That aside it is a wonderful story of family relationships from the view point of a young boy.At 10pm the boy and his mother spend 'quality time' talking and over time she begins to explain what her illness is and why she can't leave the house.Product details

The 10PM Question edition by Kate De Goldi Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Really nice view inside the head of an anxious kid. Very funny as well. I found it important to realise that this is a fictional work - so not only are the people and events fictional, so is the ability of the 12-year-old narrator to describe and understand his own feelings, surroundings and life events.
I started this, and fell immediately into the joy of reading something worthwhile. I am somone who likes a writer who can properly express feelings realistically, elegantly and powerfully. IMHO this lady is one of the best. The book is fun, but has depth also, so while it is pure enjoyment, it is not just froth. Read this book. You cannot fail to like it. At least try the sample. I will seek out any other books by this author.
A very well written book, I couldn't put it down! I will definitely read more de Goldi books based on the merits of this one.
Interesting modern novel about growing up.
A gentle story for young teens or older tween readers. A young boy with anxiety issues and his family/friends features in this story. The anxiety issue is handled really well and the text treats the reader with respect. Not loads of action, just a family tale. Worth the time.
While reading the book I almost felt like the boy himself. Kate de Goldi managed to write in such a way that the reader can almost see into the boy's head, and therefore understand his actions and thoughts and worries that no 12-year old boy should have. A very good read, sad and funny at the same time. One of the books I couldn't stop reading!
This is a stunning read. Insightful into an anxious child and his anxious mother. Lovely family life in spite of all the difficulties they encountered. Delicious and uplifting. I have re-read this book three times over the last few years. The turn of phrase lights up my days.
