«The Devil's Toenail» is Sally Prue's young adult novel, published by Oxford University Press in paperback (160 pages, in English).
Stevie spends the summer with his parents and little sister. On the beach he finds a «devil's toenail», an eroded stone, and decides to pretend it gives him a special power to impress the gang he wants to join. Nothing goes as he expects, but his narrative voice reveals why he needs to be accepted and why, in the end, he cares more about rejecting them.
For young readers from around 11 years old, especially those who enjoy stories about adolescence, friendship, and the need to fit into a group.
Sally Prue is a British author known for her novel Cold Tom, which won the Branford Boase Award 2002 and the Smarties Prize Silver Award in 2002. Sally Prue has written eight novels.
