Livewire

by Martina Murphy

It`s not easy being a genius, especially when your family fail to recognise it. Joey is music-mad, he`s in a brilliant band (or so he thinks!) and together with Ann, Trev, Mick (his best mate) and Domo, they enter a `Battle of the Bands` competition, ready to take on the world. Only one thing stands in the way of all this fame and glory - his Da, who has great hopes for his only son. See what happens when father and son engage in a battle of wills which neither will back down. At times touching, nerve-wracking and hilariously funny, Martina Murphy`s stunning debut novel comes straight from the heart.

I love this book. It's not the first time I've read it and it definitely won't be the last.
