Boy Swallows Universe by Trent Dalton

5.0

Such a fabulous joyous roller coaster of a book. Completely captivated by 12-yr-old Eli and his travails with sometime-mute and very deep older brother August. Goodies are bad and baddies are good and some baddies are really really bad but there is humour and optimism and wisdom and so very many glorious details and asides. At turns heartbreaking and hilarious. Couldn’t put it down. Absolutely recommend
