Me and Dad? Well, we're on opposite sides of a gaping fault-line - No, actually we're on different planets. Rory's dad is a struggling singer-songwriter and is obsessed by one rock'n'roll hero. Despite years of failure, his music is all that matters - nothing else: not job, not money, not even family. So Rory's home life is unpredictable enough. But when his two best mates hook up with his dad to release a music viral, everything flips.

Review
"* On her last book Sugarcoated, the bookseller said: 'True to form, Sugarcoated is a caustic, abrasive thriller that burns to the heart of adolescent angst.' * On The Drowning Pond the Guardian said: 'Bitingly plausible... a gripping page-turner.' * On Skarrs the Guardian said: 'A novel that is both troubling and inspirational.' * On Fat Boy Swim, The Times said: 'Powerful, empowering.' The Sunday Telegraph said: 'should be force-fed to every secondary school child in the country.'"
