Guardian Bookshop Notes:
In Edinburgh, 1974, a boy is born with a frozen heart, and undergoes surgery. But with no proper implants, his doctor places a cuckoo-clock in his chest. Different from other children, he must resist strong emotion if he wants to survive. Described by the author as "Pinnochio" for the iPod generation.
