Boy Eats Universe

Boy Eats Universe is a unique book. Telling the life story of a young boy, Eli,  in a dysfunctional South Brisbane  suburb it grips your attention from the first page.

Mum is in prison, Dad is gone, stepfather is a drug runner and brother doesn’t talk.

Despite the frequent drug references this book is a gritty and ultimately positive story of life outside of the norm.

This is a first novel by author, Trent Dalton, and it is loosely based on his own life.
