Simon Mayo (2012 event)

The award-winning broadcaster has been listened to by millions
who rely on his insightful film reviews and music choices but
he’s just turned his talents to writing. His first book for young
readers is entitled, and stars, Itch, an accident prone, science
obsessed fourteen year old boy. Itch has a slightly explosive
hobby – he collects chemicals but when he discovers a previously
unknown element, he attracts the attentions of some unpleasant
sorts. In this event, recorded live at Edinburgh International
Book Festival, Simon Mayo talks about his new book.
