Danny Wallace debut novel, Charlotte Street this year's coolest must read Stylist Magazine http://www.amazon.co.uk/Charlotte-Street-Danny-Wallace/dp/0091919029/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334221505&sr=8-1 The hotly anticipated debut novel from one of the best comedy writers of his generation. This is a heartwarming, everyday tale of boy stalks girl...It all starts with a girl... (because yes, there's always a girl...) Jason Priestley (not that one) has just seen her. They shared an incredible, brief, fleeting moment of deep possibility, somewhere halfway down Charlotte Street. And then, just like that, she was gone - accidentally leaving him holding her old-fashioned, disposable camera, chock full of undeveloped photos... And now Jason - ex-teacher, ex-boyfriend, part-time writer and reluctant hero - faces a dilemma. Should he try and track The Girl down? What if she's The One? But that would mean using the only clues he has, which lie untouched in this tatty disposable... It's funny how things can develop... Charlotte Street is full of warm and engaging characters who right from the very start make you feel as if you are already part of thier slightly strange gang. How far would you go to find your one? Jason Priestly would go quite far as it goes, making his way through a set of photographs that tell the story of one girl's year and he (hope filled) follows in her footsteps.
