This is one of those books that you read in an afternoon and want to give to everyone you know when you're finished. Dark, painfully funny and heartbreakingly honest with cracker illustrations from Jim Kay.
Winner of the Carnegie medal for Children's Literature and the Kate Greenaway Medal for illustration.
