Book Description
First published in 2001 and withdrawn from sale two years later, after a legal wrangle, Martin Newell's well-reviewed but shocking memoir of ten years of his life between the mid-60s and the mid-70s will resonate with anyone who ever wanted to be a rock star or joined a band. From an army upbringing in the Far East, the Home Counties and South London, his extraordinary story progresses through pop obsession, drugs, beatings, arrests and his eventual salvation through joining a glam-rock band. Recounted with self-deprecating, foul-mouthed humour, unusual frankness and some regret, This Little Ziggy has now become a cult classic of its genre.

After being abandoned by his animal friends, Little John Crow must come to terms with what it means to be part of a community when you are a vulture.

Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 385

Book Description
In this tender-hearted debut, set against the tumultuous backdrop of life in 1973, when homosexuality is still considered a mental illness, two boys defy all the odds and fall in love. Now in paperback. The year is 1973. The Watergate hearings are in full swing. The Vietnam War is still raging. And homosexuality is still officially considered a mental illness. In the midst of these trying times is sixteen-year-old Jonathan Collins, a bullied, anxious, asthmatic kid, who aside from an alcoholic father and his sympathetic neighbor and friend Starla, is completely alone. To cope, Jonathan escapes to the safe haven of his imagination, where his hero David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust and dead relatives, including his mother, guide him through the rough terrain of his life. In his alternate reality, Jonathan can be anything: a superhero, an astronaut, Ziggy Stardust, himself, or completely "normal" and not a boy who likes other boys. When he completes his treatments, he will be normal—at least he hopes. But before that can happen, Web stumbles into his life. Web is everything Jonathan wishes he could be: fearless, fearsome and, most importantly, not ashamed of being gay. Jonathan doesn't want to like brooding Web, who has secrets all his own. Jonathan wants nothing more than to be "fixed" once and for all. But he's drawn to Web anyway. Web is the first person in the real world to see Jonathan completely and think he's perfect. Web is a kind of escape Jonathan has never known. For the first time in his life, he may finally feel free enough to love and accept himself as he is.
