'Funny, heartfelt and surprising. A must read.' - Michael Gerard
Bauer
'Barry Jonsberg's new middle-grade novel is the kind of
coming-of-age story readers will latch onto with a love and
enthusiasm that is boundless... Jonsberg has raised the already
very high bar. In other words, give this book to everybody-it is
urgent fiction and a true must-read.' 5 STARS, Books +

'Rob is a unique character in teenage fiction and one who endears
himself to the reader immediately. As Grandad would say, it's
'blankety' marvellous. Highly recommended.' - Magpies
'I will be forever grateful for Barry Jonsberg's writing, which
opens doors I didn't even know were closed.' - Kids' Book Review
