What a wonderful book! I love the way that it was written. A great story of relationships that highlight the pain, joy and adventure of growing up. Much of this story would resonate with all human beings. The following is a song from the mind of Benjamin Trotter; ‘Mirthless merriment, sickly sentiments. So commonplace, it would bore you to tears. Give me non-stop laughter, dispel disaster. Or the Rotters‘ Club might well lop off your ears.‘
