About the Book

Teenager Jamey O'Rooke has major problems besides the college bullies hounding him everywhere he goes. He thinks he's dead! Or perhaps he has been drugged and simply believes he's dead! For Jamey, it's hard to know where reality stops and the head games begin. His best friend, Layla, is not certain about Jamey anymore either. She believes he has taken their friendship over the edge, to a place of non-repair. Or is she behind the mind control, the obsession, and the dark forces that have taken over his life! In Jamey's world everything is wrong, different somehow, but he can't get out. No matter how hard he tries, no matter how far he runs. Jamey O'Rooke is trapped inside a forever-suffocating world and time has run out. Is it a case of mistaken identity, personality-changing obsession, and a manic voyage onboard a futuristic Jaarfindorian college space station that sees Wright engage his growing legion of readers in the familiar landscape of Jaarfindor, Finnigull and Caldazar? Or, is it all just an illusion of one crazy mind? "Wicked or What" raises some serious issues about obesity, bullying, and the consequences of following an obsession to the bitter end, and explores the territory of mind games and psychological dead ends, drawing on two legendary figures in fantasy, horror and sci-fi fiction: Ray Bradbury and Philip K Dick. In the tradition of forward-thinking fiction, Sean Wright deconstructs many notions of what is real and what is not; what is possible and what futuristic nightmares await those.

About the Author :
Sean Wright was born in Peterborough, England, in 1959. His second children's novel Jesse Jameson and the Bogie Beast spent the whole of August 2003 in the Amazon UK bestsellers list in the Number One slot ahead of JK Rowling's Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. He became one of Hatchard's Authors of the Year in 2005, an achievement recognising the hiogh sales of his books in London's prestigious Royal bookstore on Piccadilly, along with PD James, Ruth Rendell, John Grisham and others. His work has been named by the Book and Magazine Collector journal as one of fifteen of the most collectable modern children's authors alive today, a list which includes JK Rowling, Philip Pullman, and GP Taylor. Both his previous two teenage-adult crossover titles have been nominated for major book awards - "Twisted Root of Jaarfindor" (British Fantasy Award for Best Novella 2005) & "Dark Tales of Time and Space" (Lancashire Children's Book of the Year Award 2006).
