Dear Frankie
Nine-year-old Frankie and his single mum Lizzie have been on the road ever since Frankie can remember, most recently arriving in a seaside Scottish town. Lizzie has invented a story which he is away at sea on the HMS Accra. Every few weeks, Lizzie writes Frankie a makebelieve letter from his father, telling of his experiences in exotic lands. As Frankie tracks the ship's progress around the world, he discovers it is due to dock in his hometown. With the real HMS Accra arriving in only a fortnight, Lizzie must choose between telling Frankie the truth or finding the perfect stranger to play Frankie's father for only one afternoon...
