The Boy with Two Heads by Andy Mulligan
A living, breathing, talking head, with a rude, sharp tongue and an evil sense of humour. It knows all your darkest thoughts and it's not afraid to say what it thinks ...to anybody. That's what happens to eleven-year-old Richard Westlake, and life becomes very, very complicated.
[A] simple, funny and very engaging premise. . Mulligan rewrites tragedy as a triumph, and turns the story into a neat way to explore friendship and tolerance. -- Josh Lacey * Guardian *
Mulligan certainly delivers in this extraordinary examination of grief . . . A highly original, emotionally-charged black comedy/thriller. A worthy successor to Mulligan’s excellent Trash. -- Sally Morris * Daily Mail *
I really enjoyed this funny, sad and truthful fable . . . Mulligan makes a great deal of friendship and the huge source of strength and support it can be. * The Book Bag *
A poignant and heart-warming story about life and all the hardships and troubles that this can bring . . . A fascinating and brilliant read . . . Another blinding story from Andy Mulligan, which delivers the unexpected with superb imaginative qualities. -- Vincent Ripley * Mr Ripley's Enchanted Books *
Fast-paced and irresistibly readable. Two heads, it appears, really are better than one -- Michael Cart * Booklist *
