John
Johnson has a secret. Even his best friends Crystal and Ravi know nothing
of his ‘special gift’ until Crystal is kidnapped by men in shiny black
suits and taken to the Lost Head Diner in Arizona. Then things start to
fall apart - literally.
This
story contains a home-made House of Horrors, several rats, a crime boss
with four arms, and plenty of mouthwash. And it’s ALL TRUE!! Well…
almost all of it.
The
Detachable Boy is the fastest story on two (or more) legs - a totally
freaky adventure about friendship and body parts.
