Extract
To our local newspaper, my grandad’s death was ‘a shocking accident that brought Bristol city centre to a standstill’. To my mum, it was humiliation beyond words and a week’s worth of whispers from her colleagues at the bank. To me, it was a sadness that could fill a dry sea.
And now it’s the funeral and everything’s wrong. My grandad didn’t want people wearing black. He wanted his mourners to come in saris, or wetsuits, or grass skirts and hula gear. He wanted a big lavish send-off too, with female bodybuilders carrying his gold coffin and, to round off the day, cannons firing his ashes into the sky.
About the book
Jody loves Jackson Gatlin. At his only UK rock concert, she’s right at the front.
But when she's caught in the crush and carried backstage, she has more than concussion to contend with. Throw in a menacing manager, a super-wired superstar and a Curly Wurly, and Jody finds herself taking home more than just a poster. It’s the accidental kidnapping of the decade. But what happens when you’ve got a rock god in your garage who doesn’t want to leave? Jody’s stuck between a rock idol and a hard place!
Hilariously and sharply explores the fantasy and reality of celebrity worship through a teenager’s eyes.
