76: A Novella (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798195010546)

There are life-changing moments in childhood. This is an attempt to revisit one.

The heatwave of 1976 is unlike anything Britain has experienced before. As the Government implements water rationing, devastating wildfires break out, violence spreads and the death-rate soars. There is even a plague of ladybirds (ladybugs).

Upriver from London, four boys and one girl may have uncovered a shocking secret: an invasion from another world.

"A sophisticated, bittersweet coming-of-age story with elements of metafiction and magical realism... funny, erudite, and beautifully crafted."
