A starkly original and heartbreaking tale of friendship and rebellion
Winner of the Carnegie Medal and a 2012 Costa Award winner. Narrated against the backdrop of a ruthless regime determined to beat its enemies in the race to the moon, MAGGOT MOON is the stunning new novel from award-winning author Sally Gardner.
When his best friend Hector is suddenly taken away, Standish Treadwell realises that it is up to him, his grandfather and a small band of rebels to confront and defeat the ever-present oppressive forces of the Motherland.
Utterly original and stunning, it is impossible not to be moved by MAGGOT MOON's powerful story and the unforgettable heroism of Standish.

Dazzling, chilling, breathtaking. A perfect book. (Meg Rosoff, award-winning author of HOW I LIVE NOW)
The outstanding teenage novel of the autumn, arresting and original and written in a singular voice... (Lorna Bradbury)
startlingly original, horribly gripping ... an inspirational [story] which deserves many prizes. (Amanda Craig)
This novel is a celebration of the refusal of the human spirit to be crushed and in Standish, Gardner has created a hero to be cherished. (Sally Morris)
... a unique and compelling read
Maggot Moon is a fast-paced, tough and heartbreaking story. I loved it
... Maggot Moon is an unusual, deeply moving and thought-provoking story, which has clear potential to become a modern classic
... a remarkable novel
This novel will just blow you away (Emma Louise Pennell)
a story that is rich in drama and ideas (Julia Eccleshare)
Quite simply, it is a book you have to read.
Fans of the dystopia genre and conspiracy theorists alike will be flipping the pages of this gem. The story moves at a gripping pace with clever use of language, providing vivid characterization ad setting, while the unexpected twists in the plot will leave readers stunned
[Standish's] use of language because of (not despite of) his dyslexia is idiosyncratic poetry, full of fizzing wordplay and deadpan humour. Gardner's novels have always been thought-provoking but she flexes her writing muscles here and Standish is an utterly unique creation, impossible not to love.
