Product Description
From the Author
Focusing on the hero's inner struggle, and on his relationships with his care worker and his feisty fellow border Shannon, Georgie is an exciting (you really do want to know), involving story of a boy in a Special School, alienated from his surroundings, and from himself, who refuses to speak or to communicate in anyway.
Focusing on the hero's inner struggle, and on his relationships with his care worker and his feisty fellow border Shannon, Georgie is an exciting (you really do want to know), involving story of a boy in a Special School, alienated from his surroundings, and from himself, who refuses to speak or to communicate in anyway.
The writing is powerful yet tender, gritty without being gratuitous, devoid of gloom, and surprisingly light in tone. And though obviously stemming from actual experiences (Georgie himself is a composite of youngsters Malachy knew- but "toned down a little to allow for optimism"), the power of the narrative is a tribute to the storyteller's art rather than the care worker's case-notes.
"It was very difficult to write. It's so difficult to give a voice to someone who is voiceless. And the plot was so personal, in a way."
(taken from an interview and feature on Georgie in Carousel Magazine, Spring 2001) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
