A classic New Zealand road trip story, perfect for YA or adult readers

Too Right, Boy is a story about growing old in a society where age is not valued or respected, about being young in a society where there are so many temptations.  

Old Harry hasn’t enjoyed the best of reputations: a former foreign correspondent with a love of whisky and gambling, he sets out to redeem himself by taking his grandson, Brad, on a road trip while Brad’s parents are on a forced leave of absence. He attempts to take good care of the boy, while imparting some much needed character training.

Despite Harry’s best intentions, the road trip only confirms Brad’s parents’ worst fears. But in the end, a lesson lived is a lesson learned, and the road trip goes a long way to exorcising familiar demons.
