Billy’s yia yia
(Greek grandmother) will tell you…
“Life is made
up of three parts: in the first third, you’re embarrassed by your family; in
the second, you make a family of your own; and in the end, you just embarrass
the family you’ve made”. Billy is used
to being embarrassed by his family. But when his yia yia is taken ill, and asks
him to complete her bucket list (things to complete before you die), it
definitely ups the ante on the embarrassment scale!
Charged with
finding his mother a husband, bringing his freedom-loving older brother back
from Brisbane, and reconnecting with his troubled little brother, Billy sure
needs a helping hand.
Luckily, he’s got his best mate, Sticks, along for the ride, which includes a spontaneous trip to Melbourne among other complicated ventures. All this… and Billy is still trying to sort out his own “First Third”. Including, how to get through school, ride a bike for the first time, eat enough food (Greek!), and kiss a girl without her running away.

Will Billy come
out the other side with all the answers and some sense of who he is as well? You’ll
just have to read and see!
