Note: Teen novel. Originally scheduled for May 2009 but then announced to have been delayed until 2010. However a small number of copies seem to have leaked out for general sale in Summer 2009. Also available as an audio reading. Cover blurb: It's the 1980's and David has just started secondary school. He's becoming a teenager, but still hanging onto the rituals of childhood, particularly his addiction to Doctor Who: sharing the books with his best friend and neighbour, Robert, and watching the TV show.
But adolescene is as strange and alien to David as anything the good Doctor has encountered, so he's mystified when Robert begins to reject his hero in favour of girls, free weights and new music. Is it time for David to make a choice and move on too?
An evocative and moving portrayal of a boy finding his place in the world, against a backdrop of Bowie, Blackpool and Breville toasters. |
