Synopsis

In this, her third collection of poetry for children, Carol Ann Duffy brings a contagious, whirling energy to all she surveys. Whether it's the heroes of rock 'n' roll, stray giantesses and queens, the husband of the Lock Ness monster, or a girl that falls into a jam jar; with secrets and spells, songs of unrequited love, confessions and pleas, she envelops them all in an irresistible dance of rhythm and rhyme. Rock n roll and poetry collide in a book that every good - and yes, all right! - every bad child deserves.
