Description

Skippy Dies is a tragic comedy of epic sweep, exploring the human heart and the fleeting joys and lasting sorrows of adolescence. In the grand old institution of Seabrook College for Boys, two unlikely roommates, Ruprecht Van Doren and Daniel 'Skippy' Juster, find themselves at the centre of a maelstrom of interest when Skippy falls for Lori, the frisbee-playing siren from the girls' school next door.

The story is a sprawling, darkly comic saga that scours the corners of life, love, and everything in between. With its insulting repartee, hilarious minor characters, and a cast of characters that capture the essence of adolescence perfectly, Skippy Dies is a novel that will keep you turning the pages until the very end.
