Mystery of the Frozen Brains

The Mystery of the Frozen Brainsis adapted from Marty Chan_s successful radio series The Dim Sum Diaries. Set in a French Canadian town in rural Alberta, the novel develops the coming to awareness of a Chinese boy in a community under the myriad of ethnic influences including French, English and Ukrainian and the ever present "red neck" attitude. As serious as the novel_s thematic dispatch is, Chan_s buoyant, gifted humour overrides the tone. After all, Marty thinks he is an alien. This is his secret, Remi Sasseville finds out, and as boys do, he forms a unique friendship with Marty. The alien invasion romp that follows is as entertaining as it is unique.Chan, Marty is the author of 'Mystery of the Frozen Brains', published 2004 under ISBN 9781894345712 and ISBN 1894345711.
