Synopsis
A funny and stylishly original story about the inner-city world of ecstasy, sexual promiscuity and sexual confusion, class conflict and poverty — through the wide-open eyes of nine-year-old Tom: very innocent, but very eager to try it all.

Review
"Daren King has written a book so achingly vulnerable that you want to put your arms around it. You want to reach through the fragile membrane of prose and pages to pull Tom out. And you can't. That final sense of helplessness will puncture every heart that Tom Boler has swelled" * Daily Telegraph * "King creates truly beautiful poetic images...Fans of Boxy an Star will love these vibrant adventures full of youthful zeal and experimentation" * Scotland on Sunday * "Funny, moving and dark...King is a one-off" * Independent * "Daren King is a genius" -- Matt Thorne "A pinball machine of surreal outrages" * Guardian *
