Reviews

What Happens Online by Nathanael Lessore begins as Adrian Mole for the gaming generation and then becomes, through its big-hearted tale of one awkward teenager's split life between reality and the internet, the kind of book you wish that boy from Adolescence had read [...] A brilliant, heartfelt book about now.Lucy Bannerman, The Times, Children's Book of the Week
Blend of smart dialogue, believable characters and humour makes big issues immensely readable.Fiona Noble, The Observer, YA Books of the Month
Hilarious, thoughtful and deeply felt, this is another superb 13+ contemporary novel from the Branford Boase-winning Lessore.Imogen Russell Williams, The Guardian
A smart and sympathetic look at the world young people live in today, and thought-provoking on how to navigate the insanity of the internet [...] Fred's inner monologue, both neurotic and amusing, will charm more reluctant readers as well as existing fans of Lessore's work.Claire Hennessy, Irish Times
