A recommendation from our Guest Editor, Lauren Child MBE
I have read this so many times over the years, and it remains to me completely fresh and not dated in any way. It taught me about comedy and tragedy and how close they can be, that you might be having the worst day of your life while someone sitting right beside you on the bus can be having the best, completely unaware of your misery. It’s about a boy who’s scared of being beaten up and it’s quite dark, but also very funny. ~ Lauren Child
