Books with title Mr. Nobody

They said, “He’s a nobody.”They were dead wrong.When reporter Hudson Ambrose hears an early morning call on his police scanner about an injured person at a bus stop on Las Vegas Boulevard, he rushes to the scene to get the scoop. His world is blown off its axis when he discovers a murdered homeless man with a bankbook in his pocket showing a balance of almost one million dollars. Should he wait for the police, knowing the case will get lost in reams of red tape, or swipe the bankbook and take the investigation–and perhaps a chunk of the money–into his own hands? With sirens bearing down on the scene, Hudson makes an impulse decision that whisks him on a frantic search for answers, not only about the mysterious dead man, but about the lost soul lurking within himself. Uncovering bizarre links between a plane crash, a Las Vegas pit boss, a dirty cop, and a widowed Atlanta business mogul, Hudson is forced to find out: who was Chester Holte, what was he doing on the streets, and why are his homeless friends convinced he was an angel in disguise?

Do you have a house where a mess is made, a drink is spilt, cups are left out or the toilet roll is used and not refilled? Does anybody in your house own up to doing any of these things? A friend of mine asked my two children "Who left their unwashed plate on the table?" and when they both protested their innocence, she exclaimed "Well, Mr Nobody's here!" So this is a story about Mr Nobody. It teaches children that we should tidy up after ourselves and all be responsible for looking after the house we live in.

Harry Hawkins doesn't like his new step-father Bill Wesley, nor his bossy step grandmother, who constantly finds fault with him. His mother seems to have forgotten his father, a pilot who died in the war, in her new marriage and new baby. Being bullied at school, picked on by teachers, Harry just feels he has no place to go. The day he finds Ocky, an escaped chimpanzee from the circus he decides to look after her in his secret den on the bombsite, glad to have a friend at last. But an unexploded bomb is discovered, and with it, Harry's den and his hiding place for Ocky. Harry trusts Father Murphy with his secret, but Father Murphy passes on the information to the other adults, and Harry and Ocky are forced to run. After a roadside adventure with gypsies, Harry makes his way with Ocky to Aunty Ivy, the owner of a sea-side boarding house where he had his last holiday, where he last felt happy. Ivy too betrays him, calling his parents and the police, who catch up with Harry. To escape their pursuers, Ocky jumps off the pier, and Harry after her, and as Bill jumps in after his step-son, Harry realises how much he's cared for. Back at home, Harry knows he has to return Ocky to the circus and finds her owner needs her more than he realised - he's a blind clown called Mr Nobody, who can only do his act with Ocky as his eyes.
