William
Freeman is an unfriendly British man who has a very comfortable lifestyle
because he survives thanks to the copyright of a successful Christmas song that
his father made up ages ago. One day he's asked by some of his friends to take
care of their son, as he is the boy’s grandfather. To avoid looking after the
child alone, he joins a single-parents’ association called "SPAT"
(Single Parents Alone Together) to meet some interesting women. One day, he goes
on a picnic where he meets a 12-year-old-boy called Marcus, Fiona’s (one of the
members’) son. They get on like a house on fire. William will even use him as his
fictitious child to make friends with the women of the association. Marcus is
an excluded boy, and he will obtain a lot of help from Will, who will finally
fall in love with a single-mother called Rachel. Marcus confesses to Will that
he wants to sing in the Christmas school show, so he helps him by playing the
guitar, and he wins the competition. That Christmas, Will won’t be is his own,
he will be with Marcus, Fiona and, of course, Rachel and her daughter.
About a boy is great book that I would recommend to
anyone interested in sweet comedies. It has quite a lot of action, many things
are always happening, so, you don't get bored.
