per
Compare to estimated retail price: ₱1,000.00 PHP  

Boarding school epic; humor entwines with tragedy.

"Skippy Dies" might seem like an odd recommendation given its title, but it’s the depth and authenticity with which Paul Murray portrays the peaks and valleys of adolescence that makes this book so compelling. Murray crafts a narrative that is as hilarious as it is heartbreaking, stitching together the bittersweet patchwork of teenage life with a cast of characters that feel achingly real. If you're into stories that can make you laugh out loud one moment and bring you to tears the next, this sprawling novel with its Shakespearean dialogue and poignant take on youth will likely stay with you long after the last page.
