ISBN: 9780385615570.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChristopher Fowlers memoir captures life in suburban London as it has rarely been seen: through the eyes of a lonely boy who spends his days between the library and the cinema, devouring novels, comics, cereal packets - anything that might reveal a story. Caught between an ever-sensible but exhausted mother and a DIY-obsessed father fighting his own demons, Christopher takes refuge in words. His parents try to understand their sons peculiar obsessions, but fast lose patience with him - and each other. The war of nerves escalates to include every member of the Fowler family, and something has to give, but does it mean that a boy must always give up his dreams for the tough lessons of real life? Beautifully written, this rich and astute evocation of a time and a place recalls a childhood at once entertainingly eccentric and endearingly ordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Doubleday","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45116196290613,"sku":"ByrdShop_0385615574","price":91.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780385615570_1831f737-2ea2-46bb-b5e4-b9a17bc845a8.jpg?v=1781354439","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/paperboy-9780385615570","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
