?The Weather Clock said knife o?clock, so I chained Dad up in the shed.?//In Scarper Lee?s world, parents don?t make children ? children make parents. Scarper?s father is his pride and joy, a wind-powered brass construction with a billowing sail. His mother is a Bakelite hairdryer. In this world, it rains knives and household appliances have souls. There are also no birthdays ? only deathdays. Scarper?s deathday is just three weeks away, and he clings to the mundane repetition of his life at home and high school for comfort.//Rob Davis?s dark graphic novel is an odyssey through this bizarre, distorted teenage landscape. When Scarper?s father mysteriously disappears, he sets off with Vera Pike (the new girl at school) and Castro Smith (the weirdest kid in town) to find him. Facing home truths and knife storms at every turn, will Scarper even survive until his deathday?
