I didn't know him until recently, but now I'm starting to know what it's like to have a dad around. Uncle Ben makes mum smile, and I even caught them kissing, but when I told her she blushed!

'As soon as Christmas is over, we're going home. But if I'm a really good boy, maybe Uncle Ben might want to come back, too?' (Publisher's blurb)
