Ten-year-old Solo - embarrassingly, that isn't short for anything      - just wants to be normal.         He wants a name that doesn't stand out. He wishes he had a proper      school uniform that fitted him. He dreams about a mum      who doesn't get the Big Bad Reds, like his mum      Morag.         But most of all he longs to stop crashing funerals for the free      food.         But when Solo and Morag crash the funeral of a celebrity and get      caught, the press are there to witness their humiliation. The      next day it's splashed across the papers. Before Solo knows it, he      becomes a viral sensation, and life may never      be normal again.         Solo's uphill pursuit of security, community and connection will      break your heart and then mend it.

A sensitive, empathetic, timely portrayal of a family struggling      during the cost of living crisis.
