12yo Cyril’s mom is always dragging him to open houses. She dreams of owning their own home - even on her meager teacher’s salary. Cyril decided to help - his brilliant plan - offer himself and his mother as companions and caretakers for an elderly person - as long as the person deeds their house over to Cyril’s mom once they pass away. Crazy- right? But curmudgeonly Mr. Hartt takes Cyril up on the idea. They all agree to a one month trial. Cyril is not sure they will last that long.
I wanted to like this so much more, but I was not satisfied with the end, and I was not fond of Mr. Hartt at all. Great premise - middling execution.
