Sometimes the end is just the beginning of a new adventure.
Martin's life changes the day his dad is killed in a car accident.
No one talks about it. His mum refuses to leave the house. His sister is
only interested in her boyfriend. And Martin? He spends his afternoons
alone with the family chickens - that's why they call him 'Clucky' - and
at night, he solves difficult maths problems in his head to help him
fall asleep.
But one day Martin meets a boy called Vusi, who dreams of making a
zombie movie. The two are plunged head first into a wild adventure,
pulling everyone they know along with them.
Shortlisted for the Found in Translation award, it has also since been
made into a popular film in Afrikaans.
