Publisher's Summary

When Annaliese Winter walks down Curtis Holland's front path, he's ill-prepared for a sixteen-year-old schoolgirl who's a confounding mixture of adult and child. After years traveling the world with his band, Butterfish, he's not used to having a neighbor at all. So when Curtis receives an invitation to dinner from Annaliese's mother, Kate, he is surprised when he not only accepts but finds himself being drawn to this remarkably unremarkable family. Even to fifteen-year-old Mark who is at war with his own surging adolescence. Curtis soon realizes that with Kate divorced, Annaliese and Mark need a male role model in their lives, but it's hard for him to help when he's just starting to grow up himself and harder still when Annaliese begins to show an interest in him that is less than filial.

What the critics say

"There is a real heart to this novel, and it's likely to appeal to his legions of fans but also secure him a new readership." (Q Magazine)
"It is a tender, funny tale of a man finally coming to terms with adulthood that is touching without ever being saccharine." (The Daily Telegraph)
"An affectionate exploration of music, fame and finding the things that matter." (The Sunday Age)
