  Oliver has a lot going on starting his first year of middle school: new friends, new classes, new everything. But at least there’s one thing that still makes sense: SCIENCE! Determined to be an astrophysicist one day, Oliver explains everything he learns—like how the sun burps, how ghost particles fly through you, and the uncanny similarities between Mercury and cafeteria meatballs. (Also, there are time-bending black holes, exploding supernova stars, and aliens! Well, there could be aliens.) 
   
  Oliver finally feels like he’s starting to figure things out … but can he stay out of the principal’s office, or catch a break from his annoying sister? With laugh-outloud humor, Oliver’s Great Big Universe follows an eleven-year-old who’s taking on the whole universe—if he can survive middle school first.

  Like Wuthering Heights, the center of this story is a dramatic love triangle, the setting is a huge English manor. Olivia Marchmont has always "done her duty." However, when she falls in love and her beloved is in love with another woman, the malice of her heart is released in full view. In this dramatic tale, the vivid description of the country is also important- as if nature has a part in it. Unlike many novels, nobody gets what they deserve at the end. Or do they? Read and decide for yourself.

  “By turns heartbreaking and heart-swelling, this is the story of a working-class boy overcoming grinding violence to play among the rock gods. Every hopeless boy should read it.” - Caitlin Moran 
  Jack Jones is a wordsmith with a guitar. Best known as the singer and guitarist of TRAMPOLENE and lead guitarist with Peter Doherty & The Puta Madres, his work blends spoken word, raw honesty, and melodic power. 
  TRAMPOLENE’s fierce, poetic rock ’n’ roll has won the admiration of The Libertines, Liam Gallagher, and John Cooper Clarke, with two No.1 Independent Albums and the honour of opening Swansea Arena in 2022. 
  Jack’s story is one of survival and defiance. By five he had survived a bone tumour and begun to see the cracks in the world; by sixteen he was living with Crohn’s Disease. Through it all, the constants have been his blistering guitar and his poetry - about the struggles and dreams of everyday life, about love, adversity, growing up in Swansea, and seeing the world as it is. 
  “Jack Jones’ words light up the printed page like magnesium released into oxygen.” - Pete Paphides 
  This audiobook gathers that same voice - sharp, funny, vulnerable, and unflinchingly real.
