He knew she was alternative, so the knackered old stuffed crow he found at the car boot sale was surely going to impress her… Sebastian is a love-seeking teenager in 1995, UK. It hasn’t exactly been plain sailing for him through School, but this year will be the one where he finally gets a girlfriend and becomes popular. Trends move so fast and now it’s all big baggy hoodies, band t’s and heavy grunge guitars.… And the girl he likes, Hannah. Is one of those mosher types. He will have to do everything he can to grab her attention, even if she already has a boyfriend. To fit in with this new breed of teen he will have to wear the stuff, listen to the music, and generally mope around emo all day long… Shouldn’t be too hard. Of course, Sebastian will rope his friend “Mr Chips” along for the ride along on his perilous mission. But was what he was looking for always staring him right in the face? Macabre Crow is a funny teen coming-of-age romance book based in the 90’s. If you went to school in the decade of Nirvana, Overhead Projectors, Tamagotchis, Lunchables and Blockbuster Video you will love this book!
Dear Ben, I'm sorry it took me so long to read your book. I regret it now as I can't tell you how much it made me laugh or ask you questions about it. Plus you left it on a cliffhanger you rascal.
