Beskrivning

How would you feel if you woke up and found another head growing out of your neck? A living, breathing, TALKING head, with a rude, sharp tongue and an evil sense of humour. It knows all your darkest thoughts and it’s not afraid to say what it thinks . . . to ANYBODY. That's what happens to eleven-year-old Richard Westlake, and life becomes very, very complicated.Part thriller, part horror, part comedy – this is one of the most riveting novels about fear and friendship that you will ever read.Andy Mulligan won the 2011 Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize, and his international bestseller, Trash, is now a major film – directed by Stephen Daldry and with screenplay by Richard Curtis.

Recensioner i media

"[A] simple, funny and very engaging premise ... Mulligan rewrites tragedy as a triumph, and turns the story into a neat way to explore friendship and tolerance." -- Josh Lacey Guardian "Mulligan certainly delivers in this extraordinary examination of grief ... A highly original, emotionally-charged black comedy/thriller. A worthy successor to Mulligan's excellent Trash." -- Sally Morris Daily Mail "I really enjoyed this funny, sad and truthful fable ... Mulligan makes a great deal of friendship and the huge source of strength and support it can be." The Book Bag "A poignant and heart-warming story about life and all the hardships and troubles that this can bring ... A fascinating and brilliant read ... Another blinding story from Andy Mulligan, which delivers the unexpected with superb imaginative qualities." -- Vincent Ripley Mr Ripley's Enchanted Books "Blisteringly funny, and sad" Financial Times website
