Joe loves predictability. But his life is about to become a surprising adventure.

Joe-Nathan likes the two parts of his name separate, just like his dinner and dessert. Mean Charlie at work sometimes calls him Joe-Nuthin. But Joe is far from nothing. Joe is a good friend, he’s good at his job, good at making things and good at following the rules, and he’s learning how to do lots of things by himself.

Joe’s mother knows there are a million things in life he isn’t prepared for. While she helps guide him every day, she’s also writing notebooks full of advice about the things she hasn’t told Joe yet, things he might forget and answers to questions he hasn’t yet asked.

Following her wisdom – applying it in his own unique way – this next part of Joe’s life is more of a surprise than he expects. Because he’s about to learn that remarkable things can happen when you leave your comfort zone, and that you can do even the hardest things with a little help from your friends.

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Great characters and storyline…. Perfect narrator for this book,

Lots of kindness and understanding, plus some brilliant advice throughout. Really hoping they’ll be further books with these great characters or maybe a tv series???

As an autistic person I felt an understanding so deep of Joe Nathan and wanted to hear more and more of his story. From beginning to end and was a part of the book and loved his friends and could not stop listening.
A book I was buy in hard copy and read again.
I really this author will write more soon.

I never wanted to reach the end.
