Maggot Moon by Sally Gardner
Maggot Moon is an unusual book. Set in a dystopian 1950’s world that is reminiscent of Nazi Germany, Standish Treadwell is a dyslexian schoolboy whose best friend Hector has disappeared. The writing style is spare yet powerful, and the book is illustrated with unpleasant rats and spiders – and I didn’t like the cover either. Unpleasant and violent things happen in Standish’s world and his quest to find Hector is not an easy one. This book is extremely powerful and unlike anything I have previously read.
