Synopsis
Come back to 1980, to the Northeast of England, and meet David. Some might say he's a strange boy. He's smart, sensitive—and convinced he has secret super-powers. Life for him and his brother is a constant whirl of would-be step-families and overbearing friends and relations. And even aged ten, he's finding he's not sure what he thinks about girls when 14-year-old John down the road seems so much more interesting.

About the Author
Paul Magrs was born in Jarrow, Tyne and Wear in 1969. He's always wanted to write the kinds of book he could never find when he was a teenager. Nowadays he is Senior Lecturer in English Literature and Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia.
Review
A debut children's novel by a highly successful writer for adults. As the lurid excesses of the 1970s give way to the neutral pastels of the 1980s, David is 10 years old, but growing up fast in a broken home in the North-east of England. This is a semi-autobiographical tale which is by turns funny and harrowing.

Some might say he's a strange boy. David's an outsider. He's smart, sensitive - and convinced he has secret super-powers. Life for him and his brother is a constant whirl of would-be step-families and overbearing friends and relations. And even aged ten, he's finding he's not sure what he thinks about fancying girls when 14-year-old John down the road seems so much more interesting. Paul Magrs' warm, vividly told story of childhood's end blends comedy and drama in a wild play-ground of messed-up lives and family feuds. *** Quantity Available: 1.
