The new book from the award-winning Phil Earle, author of Heroic
and Being Billy. 'Have finished BUBBLE-WRAP BOY. If happy
tears/snot smeared across face were legal currency, @philearle
would be rich. So warm, and so funny' - Katherine Rundell, author
of Rooftoppers. All my life I've been tiny Charlie from the Chinese
Chippie, whose only friend is Sinus, the kid who stares at walls.
But I believe that everyone's good at something. I've just got to
work out what my something is... Charlie's found his secret talent:
skateboarding. It's his one-way ticket to popularity. All he's got
to do is practice, and nothing's going to stop him - not his
clumsiness, not his overprotective mum, nothing. Except Charlie
isn't the only one in his family hiding a massive secret, and his
next discovery will change everything. How do you stay on the board
when your world is turned upside down? Phil Earle was born, raised
and schooled in Hull. His first job was as a care worker in a
children's home, an experience that influenced the ideas behind
Being Billy and Saving Daisy. He then trained as a drama therapist
and worked in a therapeutic community in south London, caring for
traumatized and abused adolescents. After a couple of years in the
care sector, Phil chose the more sedate lifestyle of a bookseller,
and now works in children's publishing. Phil lives in south-east
London with his wife and children, but Hull will always be home.
