ABOUT THE BOOK
Felix Knutsson is nearly thirteen, lives with his mother and pet gerbil, and is brilliant at memorising trivia. So far, pretty normal. 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. So when Felix starts at a new school, he does his very best to hide it from his friends. But Felix has a plan to turn his and Astrid’s lives around: he’s going to go on his favourite game show Who,What, Where,When and win the cash prize.All he needs is a little luck and a lot of brain power . . .
