Rapid, a Graffix picture
story for A&C Black, illustrated by Kim Harley...
The song wouldn't go away: no way could Jonny lose it. From the
moment Belle had banged out the notes and Charlee had pinned on the
words, the song had stuck - 'Don't get me wrong'.
Jonny Malone is one hopeless case. It's not the words of the song
he can't get out of his head, but one of the singers, Win Zotwana.
He's grown up with Win, and suddenly, in the space of a music lesson,
he's fallen in love with her...

sliding: Maria and Mary, the two Madonnas on blades. A 'Graffix'
picture story superbly illustrated by Kim Harley.
