Product Description

Review
"If only a few more people dared to portray disabled people this way we might bury some of the patronising attitudes towards disabled people..." Dan Batten, Scope Magazine. "I shall use it in training..." Margie Woodward, Scope's Disability Equality Officer.

Product Description
A beautifully written, uncompromising yet poignant account of the relationship between a boy with cerebral palsy and a girl with a drug habit. Ben Bancroft is the invisible man. Nicknamed "Spaz" because of the cerebral palsy that has disabled him since birth, he's a real loner: no parents, no siblings, no friends, just a wealthy, straight-laced grandmother, who looks after him as if he were still a small child. His only escape is the decrepit Rialto Theatre where, on Friday nights, he watches old movies with the other loners. The last person he expects - or wants - to meet there is Colleen Minou. Drugged out, covered in tattoos, clad in ripped tights and a neon mini skirt, she's the kind of trouble Ben's spent his life avoiding. But when Colleen climbs into the seat beside him and rests a woozy head on his shoulder, it's the start of a relationship that will alter Ben's life...for ever. With forthright humour and explicit dialogue, Stoner and Spaz tells an engaging story of the coming together of two teenagers from very different worlds, each with a demon to face...

4.0 out of 5 stars if only reality were so real, 27 Aug 2003
This book was one of the only ones i've read for quite a long time which was hard to put down. It has a good story line and the relationsip in it progresses at a normal pace and speed to any other relationship - which is the one problem with the book. It portrays people as unrealistically friendly towards 'misfits' such as 'spazes' or 'stoners'.
Apart from that, the fairytale love story of a popular girl with major drug meeds and a loner boy with CP and learn together to face thier problems and deal with them starts to make you think - if only people were actually as friendly as they are in this book then mabye life would be easier for everybody
