![]() ![]() ![]() I like that sort of a feel to something this wants to be read, and doesn’t want to let its readers go without a fight. The first of a series, and Copeland’s debut, Charlie Changes Into A Chicken is, as I say, a determined book. At times of great personal stress, he turns into an animal – and for somebody who has a beloved brother in hospital, panicking parents, and a school bully on his tail, that’s a lot to deal with. Charlie McGuffin (the layers of meaning in THAT surname…) has developed a curious talent. It’s determinedly readable (seriously the drive behind this is almost palpable), full of direct address to the reader and some very funny moments. Charlie Changes Into A Chicken gives you everything from page one, and continues to do that on every page that follows. There’s something rather appealing about a book that displays its intent so clearly. Charlie Changes Into a Chicken by Sam Copeland ![]()
