Felix Knutsson is nearly thirteen lives with his mother and pet gerbil Horatio and is
brilliant at memorising facts and trivia. But Felix and his mom Astrid have a secret: they are
living in a van. Astrid promises it's only for a while until she finds a new job and begs
Felix not to breathe a word about it. So when Felix starts at a new school he does his very
best to hide the fact that most of his clothes are in storage he only showers weekly at the
community centre and that he doesn't have enough to eat. When his friends Dylan and Winnie ask
to visit Felix always has an excuse. But Felix has a plan to turn his and Astrid's lives
around. All he needs is a little luck and a lot of brain power . . .
