Our Bad Magnet, Paperback/Douglas Maxwell

Description Centering on an uneasy reunion, Our Bad Magnet takes four boys from a small town on the West Coast of Scotland and follows their progress from ages 9 to 29 as they try to unlock the secrets of childhood and memory. Throw in 80's indie music, a ventriloquist's dummy, some magical fairy stories and a word called "nimston" and you have a hilarious black comedy that isn't afraid to make you think while you're laughing out loud.
