He can pull himself together from assembled bits in the time it takes to make a Vegemite sandwich. But he's never had to pack himself into a suitcase before, or be posted to the US of A to rescue his best friend Crystal. She's been kidnapped by a crime boss with four arms A crazy adventure about friendship, body parts and hamburgers.

Scot Gardner became a writer after a chance meeting with a magazine editor while hitchhiking in eastern Australia. Magazine articles led to op-ed newspaper pieces and eventually novels. Scot's first fiction for young adults, One Dead Seagull, was published after he attended a writing camp with John Marsden. More than a decade later, his many books have found local and international favour and garnered praise and awards for their honest take on adolescent life. They include books like White Ute Dreaming, Burning Eddy and most recently Happy as Larry, winner of a WA Premier's Book Award for young adult fiction, and The Dead I Know, winner of the CBCA Book of the Year Award for Older Readers. Scot lives with his wife and some chickens in country Victoria.
