Acclaim for "Xtreme: The Edge": "Written in short, episodic bursts awash with snarling dialogue intercut with bathos, this pacily energetic first novel is highly readable" - "Book for Keeps" magazine. Following the success of "Xtreme: The Edge", Ben Bo turns from snow-boarding to surfing in this hip and pacy read. Jonah, a fifteen year old surfer living in Western Ireland, is struggling to make sense of his life. Discovering that he has a twin living in America changes Jonah's life completely - and takes him into the very eye of the storm. This is a terrifically pacy adventure, incredibly readable. The Author: As well as "Extreme: the Edge", Vivian Richardson (Ben Bo) is the author of Surf Shredder, and the illustrator of "The Extraordinary Adventures of Joe Sloop", also published by Bloomsbury. Vivian Richardson lives in London with his wife who is a teacher.
