Mondays are Red by Nicola Morgan
Hodder Literature: a new and exciting series of literature titles for Key Stage 3 for whole class use. 'Mondays are red. Sadness has an empty blue smell. And music can taste of anything from banana puree to bat's pee. That's what I need to explain, starting with the day it all began, the day I woke up in a hospital bed with a kaleidoscope in my head...' Luke wakes from a coma to find that his sensory world has been transformed -- he's seeing music, smelling colours and tasting what his fingers touch. But there's also the sinister Dreeg, a chameleon-like incubus who's inhabiting his head. As Luke begins to recover, he is tempted by Dreeg to strike a Faustian pact -- his soul in exchange for limitless power. Carried along at first by the dazzling promises, Luke must eventually make a fatal choice -- the irresistible temptations of teaching his conceited older sister a lesson she won't forget and winning his athletics race or reverting to his honest, ordinary life.
Nicola Morgan is the author of two novels -- Monday are Red and Fleshmarket -- and also over 65 non-fiction titles. She worked as an English teacher for 16 years and has promoted literacy for children for many years. She lives near Edinburgh with her husband, two daughters and dog.
