Charlie Higson

    3. Juli 1958

    Charlie Higson ist für seine fesselnden Erzählungen bekannt, die sich oft mit den dunkleren Aspekten des Lebens befassen und Charaktere am Rande der Gesellschaft erforschen. Seine Young-Bond-Romane bieten einen aufregenden Einblick in die prägenden Jahre des ikonischen Spions und verbinden actionreiche Abenteuer mit einer ausgeprägten Horror-Sensibilität. Frühere Werke für Erwachsene präsentierten eine dystopischere Sicht auf den Alltag, in denen Protagonisten außer Kontrolle geraten, was ihm Vergleiche mit Autoren wie Brett Easton Ellis einbrachte. Higsons einzigartige Stimme liegt in seiner Fähigkeit, spannende, immersive Welten zu erschaffen, die bei Lesern Anklang finden, die Spannung und psychologische Tiefe suchen.

      Stan has found himself a starring role as superhero in a popular TV show. He's absolutely terrified. After surviving a holiday to Italy without his parents (which included jellyfish and giant watermelons), Stan reckons he deserves a bit of a break. Or at a least a break in between trying to act in his school play. But when he's offered the chance to take a tour around a TV studio, he thinks it can't do any harm. How wrong he is. Before Stan can say 'Boy of Steel' he's landed himself a part as a main character in one of the most well-known TV shows there is - as a brainy superhero. Convinced he's going to embarrass himself in front of millions of people - and worried about leaving his friends to face a school play on their own - can Stan find a way to use his new-found fame for good? Or will he be the Worst. Superhero. Ever . . .

      *A hilarious new book from the bestselling children's author* Just how scary can a holiday be? Very . . . Twelve-year-old Stan is going on holiday. To Italy. He's not going with his family though, he's going with his best-friend Felix (although if Stan was honestly ranking his friends, Felix would be number five). He's absolutely terrified. Luckily, as well as emergency euros, Stan's mum has given him an emergency list that includes how to survive a shark attack, and what to do if he gets abducted by kidnappers. Stan thinks that a better list would include how to cope with weird toilets, and what to do if he accidentally calls Felix's mum 'mum' in front of everybody. And it soon turns out that Italy is full of strange food, difficult games, jellyfish and mosquitoes called Ian. Can Stan survive all this, as well as very complicated (and also, actually, very strange) grown-ups? One thing's for certain, Stan's not going to come back the same boy he left. He just hope he comes back at all . . . Worst. Holiday. Ever is a story about facing fears, dealing with worries, and how it's OK to be anxious, scared, and sometimes a little bit brave.
