Elleveårige Freddie opdager, at hans biologiske far måske er i live, og han beslutter at følge de fakta, han har om faren, og opsøge ham. Sammen med sine to bedste venner drager Freddie ud på en supermirakuløs, skør og sørgelig rejse, der får ham til at indse, at ikke alt kan måles, vejes og forklares – og at det, man leder efter, nogle gange er lige foran næsen på én …Freddie Yates' supermirakuløse rejse har det hele; den er virkelig sjov, rørende, velskrevet, spændende og fuld af sjove tegninger.
