An Insignificant Boy' is a moving, poetic, evocative tale of a lost boyhood - beautiful and funny, yet also horrifying and strange. But ultimately, it is uplifting and full of hope. A secretive father is haunted by the atomic bomb. An ageing mother dreams of escape. Born into the Space Age of Bowie, astronauts, and future visions, Clix is an isolated, imaginative child, growing up in a house full of ghosts, daydreams, mystery, and dark secrets. A boy who, aged just eight, builds a radio station to ask for help. But there's a twist: every word of this unique tale is true. It is the final broadcast of Radio Clix.
- An inspiring real-life tale of how an unusual boy overcame trauma and childhood abuse.
- An example to anyone who is struggling in life, or who feels 'different'. As the narrator, Clix, says, "I am kintsugi: broken, but held together with gold'. (Clix was the author's childhood nickname.)
- Illustrated by Chris, this new version of 'An Insignificant Boy' is a brand new text: the author's preferred version, featuring new chapters, plus other additions and later revisions not included in the first edition. As such, it is the definitive 'director's cut' of the book, as the author intended.
