Reviews

A twisty and starkly original novel by UK based performance poet Steven Camden, Nobody Real tells the tale of Marcie and her Imaginary Friend Thor. Marcie is facing the real life struggles of the end of her adolescence, an unhinged father and now Thor, though he might be superhumanly strong, is not quite real and this might mean Marcie's once imaginary friend could have to face a dark fate. Quirky and enjoyable, think a darker maturer take on Pixar's 'Inside Out' for Teenagers. Ages 12+ (Staff pick by BA @ The Dorothy Butler Children's Bookshop)
