Dear Frankie
Nine-year-old Frankie and his single mum Lizzie have been on the go ever since Frankie can remember, most recently arriving in a seaside Scottish town. Attempting to protect her deaf son from the truth they have run away from his father, Lizzie has invented a story which he's away at sea on the HMS Accra. Every couple weeks, Lizzie writes Frankie a make-believe letter from his father, telling of his experiences. As Frankie tracks the ship's progress across the world, he finds 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 just one day...
