Ian's best friend - his next-door neighbour, Stolly, who is like a brother to him - is in hospital. Again. For Stolly has always had accident after accident and, through Ian's memories as he sits and waits for Stolly to wake up, we discover just what a remarkable character Stolly is.... But could his fall be... deliberate this time? A moving, powerful and dramatic novel from a previous Children's Laureate, The Times has described this as 'Typical Anne Fine- intelligent, funny and true' and the book received overall superb reviews on publication in hardback. object width="480" height="303"param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/2oHffIi1c1k?fs=1andhl=en_GBandrel=0"/paramparam name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/paramparam name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/paramembed src="//www.youtube.com/v/2oHffIi1c1k?fs=1andhl=en_GBandrel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="303" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"/embed/object

Industry Reviews

Funny, touching novel which shows Anne Fine on top form. Stolly is one of the most endearing and original characters to have appeared in children's literature for a long time . . . satisfyingly uplifting * Observer *
Bound to command attention . . . Stolly, the eccentric, hazard-prone hero is magnificiently evoked for us through a series of recollections and beside the musings of his best friend Ian * TES *
Subtle and entertaining . . . will make children of both sexes accept unusualness and difference, both in themselves and in others. This book will move them, and it will make them laugh * The Sunday Times *
Up on Cloud Nine is witty and compelling, the message it carries to adult readers does not make for comfortable reading . . . [A] brave and sometimes brilliant book. And, as always with Anne Fine, the jokes are excellent * Independent *
This latest novel from the Children's Laureate may be inspired by the phenomenon of teenage suicide, but there is nothing grim or mawkish about it: a wonderfully funny and perceptive glimpse of the inner lives of boys * Guardian *
