15 Days Without A Head - Dave Cousins

I have been itching to read this book for AGES! It’s not my usual choice for a YA read – normally I favour older YA with teen girl protagonists (Sarah Dessen, Sharon Creech, Sarra Manning) but I first heard about FIFTEEN DAYS WITHOUT A HEAD way back when the opening chapter was selected as a winner of Undiscovered Voices 2010. As a fellow UV winner (The first chapter of SOMEONE ELSE’S LIFE was chosen for the 2008 anthology) I was lucky enough to receive a copy of the 2012 edition, with its sneak peeks of the next exciting generation of talented authors.

Since then, I’ve met and become friends with the very lovely Dave Cousins, and we’ve formed THE EDGE – a group of eight Edgy YA authors – and you’d think being friends with the author would get you an advance copy, but no! – demand has been so great that his publisher ran out of advance copies!

Consequently my anticipation has grown exponentially! Then came the explosion of rave reviews – The Sunday Times, The Bookseller, bloggers everywhere extolling the genius, the humour, the heart of this wonderful book. And I finally got my hands on a shiny red copy.

But still I haven’t started reading it. Why? Because just now I’m a bit of a headless (get it?) chicken rushing round organising book launches and writing lovely guest blogs and interviews and all the lovely things that surround the publication of your first book, and I know that when I read Dave’s book I want to be able to sit down and savour it, to take my time and enjoy every line.

This is going to be a read to remember.
