From the bestselling author of Grief is the Thing with Feathers and
Lanny, Shy is a novel about guilt, rage, imagination and boyhood.
It is about being lost in the dark, and realising you are not
alone. This is the story of a few strange hours in the life of a
troubled teenage boy. You mustn't do that to yourself Shy. You
mustn't hurt yourself like that. He is wandering into the night
listening to the voices in his head: his teachers, his parents, the
people he has hurt and the people who are trying to love him. Got
your special meds, nutcase? He is escaping Last Chance, a home for
'very disturbed young men', and walking into the haunted space
between his night terrors, his past and the heavy question of his
future.
