Dead Ed in My Head Paperback / softback
by Barbara Catchpole
Paperback / softback
Description
Tod, the hero, is in Year 11 of school. He is an angry boy with relationship issues with his father who has left home to set up with That Little Tart From The Office and with his mother who is nine months pregnant.
He deals with his anger by behaving badly and shouting. As if that wasn't enough for any teenage boy, his head becomes invaded by the undead spirit of a wannabee Rock Star (Ed).
Ed grows into Tod's brain, even trying to take it over and being quite frankly no help at all.
During the story Tod meets his bossy girlfriend and delivers a very smelly younger baby sister together with gaining insights into why adults are so useless.
It is a funny book about the disadvantages of having anyone else share your head. Barbara Catchpole was a teacher for over thirty years.
She taught English, Special Needs and more or less anything else that was left over at the end of the timetabling.
She has three sons of whom she is unbearably proud. She still spends a lot of time working in schools. Her main interest is in writing books for young people that are set in the real world and presenting characters that could be real teenagers. She tries to make them funny most of the time with just a little sadness thrown in because life's like that.
She believes that adults can communicate really well with teenagers if the adult just makes a huge effort.
