Summary: The aftermath of a mountain-climbing accident, a petrolhead neighbour, a troubled little brother, what boy wouldn't prefer the company of the Greek gods, astronomists and his best friend, Attila the Pun? After Tuttles father dies on Mount Everest, his mother is distant and muffled by her grief. Tuttle tries to discover the true story about what happened on the mountain while he cares for his younger brother, tackles a tough English assignment at school (and computer games at home) with his friend Attila, and battles the car-obssessed Boyd and Derek next door.
