John is a misfit, 'a twelve-year old in the body of a grown man with the voice of a giant'. With an obsession for the "Guinness Book of Records" and faith in his ability to detect when adults are lying, he remains hopeful despite the unfortunate cards life deals him. Set in the seventies Ireland, this book is a sympathetic take on one sad boyhood.

"Carry Me Down is uncompromising, unputdownable and done with expert lightness. It's a work of discreet brilliance. M.J.Hyland is a truly gifted writer."
Ali Smith
