A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"One of the most original and moving books of the year . . . an absolutely remarkable book" (Daily Mail)

"Inspired writing . . . it flows like melted butter and glistens as it goes . . . Blackman knows her verse forms and uses them to brilliant effect" (Guardian)

"It is funny and poignant and Blackman's use of language is wonderfully economic. This is a masterpiece of writing and a book for all ages" (TES)

"It soon develops into a cautionary tale about the way that both a friendship and a child's originality is destroyed by peer pressure. What makes it even more unusual is that it is told out of the mind of the boy who brought about the destruction. Blackman threads humour into the tragedy and (just) succeeds in giving us something to hope for" (Independent)

"Hats off to Malorie Blackman . . . Sheer poetry" (Oxford Times)

Quatrième de couverture

I want to write about Davey

Because now he's gone I can't get him out of my head.

Davey is the new boy - he has hole in his jumper and strange ideas in his head. Sam can't stand him; he thinks Davey's a first-class, grade A, top of the dung-heap moron. But when the two boys are thrown together, Sam finds Davey's eccentric way of looking at the world makes life seem a lot more exciting, until something terrible happens...

Told in verse, this story of an extraordinary friendship is beautiful, funny and sad.

'Few writers can sustain a plot as well as Malorie Blackman'

Sunday Telegraph

'Blackman is becoming a bit of anational treasure'

The Times
