À propos de la 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'
