Amazon Review
Keith's failed attempts to cheer up his world-weary parents are getting him down, and when he burns down their fish 'n' chip shop he thinks he has finally ruined everything. But then they announce that they are going to emigrate to Australia, and things seem to be looking up. The only trouble is that Mark finds it hard to keep all the nasty things that this supposed Paradise has to offer a secret. A heartwarming, tippy-tumbling story of a little boy with the weight of the world on his shoulders, Misery Guts is a sharp and dazzling foray into the heart of one downtrodden family and their infinite search for the good life. Totally compelling, deliciously funny and yet occasionally poignant to the point of despair, Misery Guts is a little treasure that is certain to win the highly acclaimed and perpetually talented Morris Gleitzman a hoard of new fans. --Susan Harrison
