Prize-winning author Meg Rosoff’s Vamoose! , a brilliant black comedy on the ups and downs of having any new baby but especially one who is different, is a gem. When a teen mum gives birth to a moose she and her partner have to listen to loads of patronising advice from well meaning officials. Much of what Rosoff parodies is a commentary on society’s current obsession with creating perfect and high achieving children.
It is hilarious and thought provoking. This is just one of a number of Pocket Money Puffins. To view others click here .
