All little Scotty Ocean wants, is to be seven. But when seven brings the biggest challenges of his short life - he doesn't know what he wants. A great story of family dysfunction and the ripples it creates, through the eyes of a seven-year-old. By the author of What's Eating Gilbert Grape - it shares the same deep understanding and honesty with the traumas regular old life hands out.
