When his cousin, Bon, comes to stay, after his mother finds she cannot cope, Kieran feels it is totally unfair. He has tried to fit in, to be cool at school, to get into the football team, and feels his cousin's oddness is holding him back. A wonderful story of a family dealing with Bon's mother's mental illness, and Kieran dealing with another 'brother'.
