I enjoyed reading this book. It was very interesting to see how Frank's life was changed through chance events like being accepted to high school and attending the Queen's coronation. I was intrigued to know WHY the boys had ended up in the orphanage and for so long. The copies of records and photographs show what these cold government documents hold over young lives and seeing them just showed even more the importance for carers to obtain their records. It was interesting to read Frank piece the bits of information together.
