Kay Goodwin is a sixteen-year-old boy with a smart mouth and too much imagination. Marooned in the rundown seaside resort of Cole Bay, his life is a horrible comedy of errors that has trapped him in the country's most dismal place at the worst possible time - the early seventies. He dreams of escaping the crumbling pier and the grumbling pensioners, of finding a place where he is appreciated, but it's the one thing he can't do. Until he discovers a faraway land with characters who are impossibly exotic, but strangely less familiar. In the kingdom of Calabash he can have everything he's ever wanted from life. There's only one small problem. Calabash doesn't exist.

Industry Reviews

'Anyone who served their adolescence in the awful Seventies can't help but wince in recognition of Fowler's sharp and witty portrayal of the era, while Cole Bay itself is so depressingly familiar you feel you could be looking at your old holiday snaps.' THE TIMES
