With help from his grandma, Josh finds a way to quieten his overactive ?Brian' in this gently humorous and empathetic tale about family and mental health by bestseller Helen Rutter.
Josh has always called his brain Brian. Brian is Josh's best friend, helping him with tests and giving him brilliant moneymaking ideas. But he can also be Josh's worst enemy, keeping him awake at night worrying, and telling him that his family's problems are all Josh's fault. When the arguments at home get really bad, Josh is sent to live with his grandma who lives in a weird shack in the middle of nowhere, so at first Brian's voice in Josh's head gets louder and louder, and he feels out of control. But as he starts to help his grandma in the garden, growing their own food, and with all the jobs that need to be done around the shack, he starts to realise that she understands him and Brian better than anyone.
