The Detachable Boy

John Johnson is a bit weird. He falls apart – literally.  A sneeze can blast his head off  and his hands can run about by themselves. He can pull himself together from assembled bits in the same time it takes to make a Vegemite sandwich. But he’s never had to pack himself into a suitcase before, or be posted to the USA to rescue his best friend Crystal. She’s been kidnapped by a crime boss with four arms – oh no.

The Detachable Boy with one loose foot by Scot Gardner and illustrated by Heath McKenzie is a crazy adventure about friendship, body parts and hamburgers.
