In Christopher Moore's ingenious debut novel, we meet one of the most memorably mismatched pairs in the annals of literature. The good-looking one is one-hundred-year-old ex-seminarian and "roads" scholar Travis O'Hearn. The green one is Catch, a demon with a nasty habit of eating most of the people he meets. Behind the fake Tudor facade of Pine Cove, California, Catch sees a four-star buffet. Travis, on the other hand, thinks he sees a way of ridding himself of his toothy traveling companion. The winos, neo-pagans, and deadbeat Lotharios of Pine Cove, meanwhile, have other ideas. And none of them is quite prepared when all hell breaks loose.   The picture shown is the actual book you will receive   Our Older Edition Small Paperbacks are worn or show heavy wear.

What do you get when you cross a painfully awkward son, lofty comedic ambition and a dead best friend? Norman.
Norman and Jax were a legendary comedic duo in waiting. They had a plan to take them all the way to the Edinburgh Fringe in just 5 years' time. But when Jax dies before they turn twelve, Norman decides a tribute act for his best friend just can't wait... so he rewrites their plan:
1. Look after mum
2. Find Dad
3. Get to the Edinburgh Fringe
Sadie won't win a mother of the year award anytime soon and not knowing exactly who her son's father is isn't topping her list of achievements. But if performing at the Fringe and finding his dad is what will help Norman through... they're going to make it happen.
