Real Porky Philips

by Mark Haddon

Porky Philips is the sort of boy whom no one really notices. Even his family can't tell the difference between him and the mysterious double who threatens, and maybe does take over his place in life. Visual "clues" are featured. This book is shortlisted for the 1994 Smarties Prize.
