"De jeugd van Alex zit vol merkwaardige voorvallen. Als hij vriendschap sluit met een zieke oorlogsveteraan, verandert zijn leven. Vanaf ca. 15 jaar."
"Eine Geschichte, die erzählt, wie besonders Freundschaft sein kann Alex Woods ist zehn Jahre alt, und er weiss, dass er nicht den konventionellsten Start ins Leben hatte. Er weiss auch, dass man sich mit einer hellseherisch begabten Mutter bei den Mitschülern nicht beliebt macht. Und Alex weiss, dass die unwahrscheinlichsten Ereignisse eintreten können - er trägt Narben, die das beweisen. Was Alex noch nicht weiss, ist, dass er in dem übellaunigen und zurückgezogen lebenden Mr. Peterson einen ungleichen Freund finden wird. Einen Freund, der ihm sagt, dass man nur ein einziges Leben hat und dass man immer die bestmöglichen Entscheidungen treffen sollte. Darum ist Alex, als er sieben Jahre später mit 113 Gramm Marihuana und einer Urne voller Asche an der Grenze in Dover gestoppt wird, einigermassen sicher, dass er das Richtige getan hat ... Gavin Extence, geboren 1982, wuchs in der englischen Grafschaft Lincolnshire in einem kleinen Dorf mit dem interessanten Namen Swineshead auf. In seiner Kindheit machte er eine kurze, aber glanzvolle Karriere als Schachspieler; er gewann zahlreiche nationale Turniere und reiste nach Moskau und St. Petersburg, um sich dort mit den besten jungen Denkern Russlands zu messen. Er gewann nur ein Spiel. Sein erster Roman "Das unerhörte Leben des Alex Woods oder warum das Universum keinen Plan hat" schlug in Grossbritannien ein wie ein Meteorit - Alex Woods eroberte die Herzen der Leser im Sturm und die Presse feierte den Roman als DIE Entdeckung des Jahres. Heute lebt Gavin Extence mit seiner Familie in Sheffield und schreibt an seinem zweiten Roman."
