Delightful and Heart-warming By Ashrae This book is right up there as one of my top ten books for this year (and I have read just under 200 at this point). I absolutely loved it and towards the end (about 80%) I was so caught because I wanted to know what happened but, at the same time, I knew that when I got to the end then I would be leaving Milo and I really didn't want to let him go.Milo is nine years old. Since his Dad went, he lives with his mum, Gran and Hamlet the micro-pig. He has a degenerative eye disorder that although restricting his vision having this disorder actually improves his observational skills. He is a wise child, definitely old above his years and he loves looking after Gran even though this means that Hamlet is restricted to living in the garage.Then one day, an accident occurs and Milo's mum decides that it is no longer fair for Milo to be doing so much for Gran at his age and that she needs more than they can provide so, it is decided that Gran goes to live at a care home. Although this now means that Hamlet is free to roam the house, Milo loves Gran so much and also loves taking care of her, not seeing it as a burden at all, and decides that Gran WILL be coming back home. This quest is made all the more important when Milo discovers that things are not at all rosy at the "Forget Me Not" care home.Cue then a whole cast of misfits and very quirky extras to assist Milo with this task. My favourite of these has to be Tripi. He is an illegally employed immigrant chef at the care home so he is, at first, reluctant to get involved but, seeing Milo struggle to get anyone else on-side, he realises that he has to do something. There are also a whole host of colourful care home residents all small parts but each totally distinct and all with their own contribution to the storyline. Nurse Thornhill oozed evilness delightfully. And mum, well, at times she came across as a bit of a wet blanket but then she'd been through a lot and, in her own way, was just trying to do her best by everyone. At times however, I did just want to shake her to wake her up to what was going on with Milo.And Milo, I absolutely adored him. Wise beyond his years but not in a precocious way. Quirky but never sickly he is a determined boy and, once he sets his mind to something he will do everything he can to try achieve it. For a young lad, he has been through a lot and although wise about some things, his underlying naivety and vulnerability does show through.To say that this is a rollercoaster of a read emotion-wise would be an understatement. I laughed, I cried, I cheered, I sneered, I got angry, I even shouted at people in the book. I was pretty much dragged through the wringer and left emotionally drained by the end. I felt like I had gone through the journey with Milo and not been just a simple observer. Not that I am complaining, It was lovely to have that kind of emotional connection with a book. Something I don't usually get with the genres of books I mostly read.All in all, this was a perfectly satisfying read on all counts and I would definitely read another by this author.I received a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

What Milo Saw By S Riaz Nine year old Milo Moon lives in Slipton with his mum Sandy, his beloved Gran Lou (really his father’s grandmother) and his pet pig Hamlet. Milo is a sensitive, caring boy, but his life is not always easy. Milo’s father has left his mother for another woman and now Sandy is struggling to pay the bills and cope with her feelings of depression. She feels that Milo spends too much time caring for Gran and, when Gran sets fire to the kitchen, Sandy decides she has to put her into a nursing home and chooses Forget Me Not; run by the seemingly efficient Nurse Thornhill. As well as these problems, Milo also suffers from a progressive eye disease - Retinitis Pigmentosa, which means that his vision is reduced to a pinhole and that, eventually, he will lose his sight.Before long, Milo is concerned that things are not as wonderful as the glossy pictures of Forget Me Not suggest. He just wants Gran home and for everything to be back as it was, and he is determined to do something about it. This is a warm and moving book with a great cast of characters. There is Tripi, the Syrian chef at the care home, who desperately misses his younger sister and worries constantly about his immigration status, the charming residents of Forget Me Not, lodger Al McCloud and the unkind and bitter Nurse Thornhill. Through it all – bullied at school, hampered by his sight and struggling with the loss of his dad – Milo decides to take matters into his own hands and rescue his Gran from the home. In essence though, this is a novel about family and about taking responsibility – both for others and for yourself.Lastly, I received a copy of this book from the publisher, via NetGalley, for review purposes..
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Sweet By Kate Vane I decided to stop reading this book. It was too whimsical, too saccharine. It's about a kid! But it was such a fun, easy read I thought I'd read just one more page or maybe a chapter and within a day I'd read the whole thing.This is the story of nine-year-old Milo who has retinitis pigmentosa. His condition means his vision is restricted to a pinhole. Meanwhile, Milo's family is falling apart. His dad has left for another woman and his gran is going into a care home. Milo decides he has to bring his gran back home and that, while he may not be able to see the bigger picture, he is able to focus in on what matters.The story has a cast of quirky characters, from Milo's mum, a beautician who is letting herself go, to Gran and her fellow residents, to a Syrian refugee working as a chef at the care home. And yes, the plot is fairly predictable and the story doesn't bear much relation to reality but along the way Milo does learn about the adult world of secrets and deception and why good people sometimes hurt each other.Mainly though, it's a page-turning, joyfully escapist story. Not saccharine but genuinely sweet.-I received an ARC from the publisher via Netgalley.
