Smart School: New Term

by Scott Pixello

A northern industrial town, England, 1985. Crepehill School is a disaster waiting to happen. Then it has a terrible inspection and doesn’t have to wait any longer. Cut to 10 years later and it has been converted into The Scragg Institute, a state-of-the-art, private facility for the super-intelligent children of super-rich parents. What isn’t so super are the fees that these young geniuses have to pay. The things these kids can do is frankly scary. Unfortunately, the things they can’t do, like hold a normal conversation, is also scary. What they need is someone to show them how to relate to normal people. What they get is a self-appointed leader. A man with no name. A man with no brain. A man simply known as ‘Dosser.’
Dosser plots revenge on the owner of the Institute. It involves pictures, complex calculations and greyhounds. Lots of greyhounds.

About the author

Hi there Pixellites,

I’m a moderately-disturbed Brit. I’ve had seven books of non-fiction published with three different publishers under another name.
Luke I am Your Father is a humorous look at unplanned pregnancy, the main character in Gothic Girl 'goes goth' as a way to cope with pressures at home and school and Live Long and Prospero features a bunch of lunatics on a lighthouse facing automation. Rainbow is about a cow that can predict soccer scores and Gagfest UK is about stand-up comedy and a heckler who takes things too far. These books are not part of a series.
The Pixelloverse is currently expanding in a number of different and exciting directions. I've added parody self-help (The A-Z of Kids, Parts I & II), Biblical parody (Jesus: The Wilderness Years), a novel about Shakespeare, a school for geniuses (Smart School) and an ongoing series set in Roman-occupied Britain in AD 60, named after the hero, a would-be rebel without a toga: Keith Ramsbottom.
I love writing (and reading) but hate the self-promotion part of being a writer. I am painfully shy, don’t tweet and there are no pictures of me on the Net. I don’t even have a mobile phone (shock horror!). I do have a Facebook page (see www.facebook.com/scott.pixello).

I’m not a total hermit but for me, the words are the key things, not who produces them. I long to give up my day-job and write full time but for that I need to generate more sales online, which means readers, like you, need to spend some (but not much) of your hard-earned pocket money on Pixello products. I'm trying to write books that could not be written by anyone else. And maybe shouldn't be. I plan to release about three books a year until I run out of ideas, which sadly could be some time (I’ve got about 12 manuscripts at various stages of readiness). Watch the skies.
