  The year Hughie Mittman turned seven, two major things happened. The first - he lost two toes in an accident involving a lawnmower. The second - he discovered he is adopted.
  When his troubled mother dies shortly after his twelfth birthday, Hughie is left devastated and lonely, with his ill-tempered father offering little comfort or affection. And Hughie comes to the following conclusion: her death was his fault. If his parents had never adopted him, perhaps his beloved mum would still be alive.
  Now, Hughie finds himself on a mission to atone for what he has done, but isn't quite sure what his first step should be. Accompanied by his loyal best friend Nyxi, he navigates a universe of winding streets, bookshops and the seaside in search of the answers he needs - and of a way to hold onto his mother's presence in his life, even though she is no longer with him. But will he find what he's looking for?

  Hughie Mittman's Fear of Lawnmowers is the story of a boy with a broken heart, trying to find the place where he belongs.
