Omtale fra Den Norske Bokdatabasen
Sixteen-year-old Felix is bored and stressed. He's stressed about his A-level results, stressed about working for that mad old bag Mrs Pretzel, stressed about what the future holds. He's also feeling mighty guilty about the possibly fatal combination of laxatives and scrabble tile he fed to Mrs P's spaniel, Vespasian. But it's not the stress or the guilt that initiates the bizarre quest that takes him half way around the world on a stolen debit card, it's curiosity. Felix is very curious about a statue he finds in the permanent clearance sale, a statue depicting a fat man and a sea otter in sexual congress. This is the story of where Felix's curiosity takes him, to Hong Kong, Tokyo, San Francisco; on a journey that challenges his preconceptions about the world, his plans for the future and his relationships with his family.
