Welcome! Poke around. Stop and say hi. Don’t mind the dust, we’re a work in progress. (And there’s no need to take off your shoes; this place isn’t that fancy . . .)

I’m just glad you’re here.

Call Me Alastair

Publisher: Scholastic - UK

In the publisher’s cover letter accompanying Cory Leonardo’s debut novel, the following words are used to describe the story: powerful, rare, profound, uplifting, modern classic. Having now read the book, I find it impossible to disagree. Truly, this is an impressive text of great depth . . .
Excellent, well-paced storytelling: like life itself, it sings, it soars. Call Me Alastair? Call me ecstatic.
— John O'Groat Journal
Dripping with wry humour, this is a teen/young adult novel like no other. Heart-warming, heart-breaking, eccentric, strikingly original and stunningly good.
