'Jason! Did you hear me? Are you still working?' Jason's mum heard nothing from his room. (p. 7)
In this book, there are 4 stories about each 4 family living in Moreland Road. I will pick up on one of the stories. The principle character is called Jason, whose mother lives with him but father left their house 12 years ago. One day, he was looking at some old photos while listening music before going to a reggae band with his girlfriend, Maria, and then his mother came into his room to ask him whether he did homework or not. When he looked at the photo of his birthday party which was held before his father ran away from home, both of them were reminded of his father, Simon. Neither of Jason and his mother didn't hear from him for 12 years. However, last week, there was a phone call from Simon, and he seemed to want to meet her and Jason, but she said to Simon 'No'. Actually, Jason was going to an art school next autumn, and Maria was fine about that, but his mother was not. After he went round to Maria's, there was a call from Maria, and she answered it. However, her voice was a bit strange, which made Jason's mother hope nothing was wrong. After that, Maria saw Jason, but she told him a surprising fact. The fact will make you astonished greatly.
