I read this book with my eight year old son - it is amazing. Very readable, original and gives exceptional insight into the world of someone who feels 'outside' the norm. It is very touching, funny and on a practical level, very readable for an eight year old boy who still wants to be read to rather than read alone. I want to buy all of Norriss' books now. If he reads this review, congratulations on such wonderful writing.

Andrew Norriss is an underrated children's writer. He has a deft touch when it comes to telling a cracking good story at just the right level. I loved the opening where Nicholas is on holiday with his mum and, dying for the loo in the middle of the countryside, accidentally pees on a grave. He is immediately cursed and a catalogue of disasters ensues. Nicholas can't go anywhere or do anything without causing accidents in his wake. At his third school he meets the calm and competent Fiona, handy with a first aid kit. The catalogue of accidents is funny without being daft and the way Norriss works through Nicholas's dilemma is both charming and moving. This book would be a good one to use with children who feel they 'cause' upsets and for whom life seems to be one big problem after another. The ending was a wee bit drawn out for me but otherwise a huge thumbs up. Boys and girls aged 9 - 11 will love this book.
