Martyn hated his dad, but he never meant for him to die. And now

Simple, right? Not quite.

One story leads to another. Secrets and lies become darker and
crazier. And then everything shatters. Life is never easy, but death
is even harder …

Kevin Brooks

Kevin Brooks, author of the young adult novels Martyn Pig, Lucas, Kissing the Rain, Candy, and The Road of The Dead, was born in 1959 and grew up in Exeter, Devon. After school, he moved to London and tried to become a rock star. The book he would most like to have written is Cannery Row by John Steinbeck. His most precious memory is of sitting on a wall when he was ten years old, wondering where thoughts go when you die. He decided that they float up into space and become fuel for the sun. His advice for aspiring authors? ‘Read as much as you can, and write what you want to write, not what you think other people want you to write. And don’t give up.’
