It draws on her long experiences as a psychotherapist.
We, the readers, are taken through the therapy of a young boy as he attempts to come to terms with his life's story and the decisions of his parents.
We see his family life through his eyes and also through the lens of his multiplicity of fantasies as he struggles to understand things.
We follow him on visits to "Madsville" watch as he tries to dodge chariots filled with thoughts from his past.
Helped, or otherwise, by a social worker who is somewhat unconventional in her approach (rules, it transpires, are not all that much to her) who takes him to a spooky underground facility. Well, that's ms Bendy Leggett for you!
With the assistance of some helpful therapy and the guidance of some good friends, it seems that Tony is able to, eventually, get his stuff together.
But is there one final truth that he must unravel?
This book is aimed at younger readers, but should appeal across all age ranges.
It's published by Matador at £7.99.
