Publisher's Synopsis
When Martin's dad leaves home, Martin feels as though they are living on different planets from each other.
And when the time comes to go and visit Dad, Martin doesn't want to stay in a new room, in a new house. He wants to stay at home and for everything to be the same.
Will the new Dad be as completely different as Martin fears? Or will he still be terrible at football and brilliant at naming all the constellations?
