Zip Jingle, his mum and his little brother, Newt, have just moved from the forest to New Town, where even the trees are plastic. The magic has gone out of their lives and they don't know how to get it back. Until one day, Zip and Newt bring home a shopping trolley from the supermarket. . . .and it speaks to them.
I was interested to read another book by Philip Ridley, having read "Zinderzunder" a few years back. The story was enjoyable and you could certainly find a comment on how Ridely views our current society. Much of the story is written in direct speech and I found this increasingly frustrating as I read the book.
