Synopsis
Ian’s best friend, Stolly, is up on cloud nine. He’s in the hospital, unconscious, and hooked up to machines. The question Ian is trying to answer is: How did Stolly end up there?
In a way, Stolly’s always been on cloud nine, living life by his own rules and making those rules up as he goes along. His parents’ careers have them constantly rushing around, so Ian’s family has all but adopted Stolly. That’s why it’s up to Ian to figure out what happened to his best friend. But once the pieces start coming together, the answer doesn’t seem to make any sense.

From the Inside Flap
How stupid do you have to be to fall out of a top floor window?
Or was Stolly trying something else -- up on cloud nine, even then? For Stolly?s always been so alive, so inspiring, taking risks, hiding nothing, notorious for being the school?s most imaginative liar (or fantasist, as he calls it). But now he?s lying in a hospital bed, and Ian, his best friend who?s as close as a brother, is watching, waiting and remembering.
Award-winning author Anne Fine?s novel is a characteristically funny, moving and life-affirming story about a remarkable character, and the truly inspirational effect he has on everyone he meets.
