Life in the 'Cosm

by Cait Gordon

Overview

What happens when boy meets girl but girl doesn't notice boy because she shares a body with another boy? When he's not gorging on desserts, calming his hypochondriacal mum, or getting bone-crunching hugs from his warrior dads, Virj Ofreesin spends his time writing a fantasy novel about Frayda, the elegant half of the two-headed Dwa. Life is adequately mediocre until he learns the Dwa are gravely ill, and a mystical cure grows on a planet between two infamously warring worlds. Ignoring all warnings of danger, Virj embarks on the journey to be Frayda's real-life hero, armed only with his stylus, and a boingy-haired nuisance who decides to tag along.

Editorial Reviews

"A joy to read from start to finish. This is a sci-fi novel with heart, verve and warmth."

Author of Lust and Lemonade - Jamieson Wolf

"A fun look at the novel within the novel, all in a fantastical setting. Written in the proud tradition of comedy sci-fi but absolutely enjoyable for anyone."

Author of Confessions of a Mad Mooer - Robin Elizabeth
