A YOUNG ADULT NOVEL "Lot was a Nobody. Lot was a nobody. Sometimes, life deals you a right melon." Lot Nobody is average - even his ears - and is so lonely that he's become invisible. But on his 16th birthday Lot truly starts disappearing - uprooted to a magical island, then sent back fully naked in the most embarrassing of situations. After befriending Ethan Longbow - a classmate who's about as street as a satsuma - Lot's insecurities start to peel away, an angry volcano begins to pulsate, and Lot Nobody goes toe-to-toe with the dastardly megalomaniac Hector Shady. Lot must now face his anxieties, save his new island friends, and discover why the hell his bum has been so itchy ... The Lot of a Nobody is author Dave Johnston's first novel, after his novella series "Sixty Minute Reads" reached the Top 10 short story list on both Amazon UK and USA
