Synopsis: 'Intelligent, observant.' --'The New Yorker' 'If your patrons liked Roddy Doyle's 'Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha' and if they rooted for Jamal Malik in 'Slumdog Millionaire,' they will love Harri Opoku.' --'Library Journal,' starred review 'In turns funny and tragic . . . Its message is universal.' -'Huffington Post' Advise yourself! Jump into 'Pigeon English' and experience the jubilant, infectious voice of Harrison Opoku--a boy awed by the city, obsessed with gummy candy, a friend to everyone he meets. See why he is 'bo-styles.' How being the fastest runner in Year 7 makes him 'dope-fine.' And how crazy things get when Harri and his best friend launch their own investigation into the murder of a classmate and one of the Dell Farm Crew's 'hutious 'criminals feels them closing in on him. You'll want this book to last 'donkey hours,' and you'll see why Harri is truly a 'hero for our times.'* 'Like 'Room .' . . and 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time' . . . 'Pigeon English' is a novel for adults told in the remarkable voice of a child. In this fine company, Kelman's novel stands out.' --'Milwaukee Journal Sentinel' 'Since Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys, there have been certain rules observed when children play detective. Stephen Kelman throws them all out.' --'Christian Science Monitor'
