Julia Eccleshare's comment:
Hilarious! Mo is a most unusual mobile phone – and definitely not one it is easy to own. Shane has always wanted a mobile phone but Mo is not the phone he wants. Mo answers back, sings opera at inconvenient moments, gets lonely and wants company, orders him about and – to make matters worse – she doesn’t have an off switch. How Shane learns to live with an unruly mobile is a lesson to all mobile phone users, everywhere.

Synopsis
Mo by Geraldine MccaughreanMo is no ordinary mobile phone. She can't make calls, and worst of all, switch off. However she can tell the future... and there's danger ahead. Mo is on the run from an alien planet and when Shane offers to mind her while she's on Earth, he gets more than he'd bargained for. This is a funny tale in which the mobile phone does all the talking.
About The Author
Geraldine McCaughrean (born 1951) trained as a teacher but learned only that she was useless at teaching. So she worked instead as a sub at a partwork magazine company, perfect training in cutting to length, abandoning pretentions and writing blurbs. A Carnegie Medallist, three-time winner of the Whitbread and the very first recipient of the Blue Peter Book Award, she has written almost 150 books and plays. In 2006 she was blessed with the chance to write the official sequel to J M Barrie’s Peter Pan at the behest of Great Ormond Street Hospital. Peter Pan in Scarlet has been translated into 38 other languages.
Anne Fine on Geraldine McCaughrean:
'I reckon Geraldine McCaughrean knocks the socks off every other children's writer today. Everything she does is different and everything works – look at her list of prizes. She must write in tremendous bursts. Some years, she's so prolific the rest of us start joking that the fairies come in at night to do her work for her. Then she'll go quiet, so unlike all those writers who are persuaded by their publishers to come up with something every year, no matter how tired or drab. If Geraldine has nothing fresh to write, she doesn't write it.' (The Guardian)
