Der verrückte Möchtegern-Ritter Don Quijote und sein einfältiger Knappe Sancho Pansa ziehen aus, um edle Taten zu vollbringen. Doch dabei geraten sie immer wieder in haarsträubende Konflikte mit der Wirklichkeit - wie in ihrem berühmtesten Abenteuer, dem legendären Kampf gegen die Windmühlen. Zwei komische Antihelden in einem Ritterroman der besonderen Art! Miguel de Cervantes führte ebenfalls ein abenteuerliches Leben: bevor im Jahr 1605 der erste Teil von Don Quijote erschien, war er Kammerdiener und Matrose, wurde von Piraten verschleppt, als Sklave verkauft und verlor im Kampf die linke Hand!

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 a 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?
