Helicopter Man
Ebook
Overview
Pete’s dad is being pursued by a secret organisation and both their lives are in danger. That’s why they never stay in the same place long, and always stay out of sight. Pete knows he leads an unusual life for a twelve year old boy, but he’s never dared to ask questions before. Now he needs some answers. He’s clever, he starts to piece the scraps of information together, but he isn’t prepared for the truth.
Down-to-earth, sensitive and wryly funny story of a young boy at the point when he realises that his father is suffering from schizophrenia. Told in the first person through the boy’s diary, it gives an incredible insight to the realities - good and bad - of the disease
Approaches the big theme of schizophrenia in same accessible, engaging way as The Mysterious Case of the Dog in the Night Time tackled autism
