About the Book

I glanced at Dextrose's nose, pock-marked, crimson and bulbous, the overripe strawberry that everyone leaves in the punnet. As I did so, his right nostril blew a bubble of snot that might fascinate a small child.' Having completed his quest to follow in the footsteps of intrepid explorer Harrison Dextrose, Pilsbury has been hit with a revelation - that he is the product of those terrible loins. And that's not all. His mother has been left behind somewhere on the globe and he must find her. (Dextrose's own words.) There ensues an unprecedented adventure. A shaman and his curious son, sozzled rednecks, a sweet old lady, nauseating poetry and the Nameless Highway all stand in Pilsbury's way. Is he up to the task? Aided only by his alcoholic father and a grumpy basketball player, our sort-of hero sets off - looking for Mrs Dextrose.

About the Author :
Nick is a journalist and has written for The Guardian, The Sunday Times, Time Out, New Woman and others, before settling as a TV writer with Radio Times and the Daily Mail.

Review :
Read this! The Times There is humour running throughout the book, I found myself snorting with laughter at some parts. The comical moments of the book arise mostly from Harrison s and Pilsbury's open honesty and the random situations they find themselves in... Upon reading the entire book I felt it was a clever, slick and enticing. I would certainly recommend it as an entertaining read. Trust me you won t be able to put it down. Spaghetti Junction, Birmingham City University Looking for Mrs Dextrose' is puerile, at times revolting, and utterly unmissable... the book's spectacular energy speaks for itself and your life won't feel complete without it.
