The third and final book in the Elias trilogy.
Home feels too full now that Mum’s girlfriend Inari and her daughter have moved in. Mum even talks about marrying Inari. But Elias simply won’t let that happen; it would ruin everything. Thankfully everything at Dad’s is still the same. There’s just the right number of people, and Elias can be sure he’ll find his comic where he left it there…
