Lorraine Kelly 'Beautifully and sharply drawn' Sunday Times Charlie Matthewsâ love story begins in a pebble-dashed house in suburban Bolton, at a time when most little boys want to grow up to be Michael Jackson, and girls want to be Princess Diana. On his ninth birthday, Auntie Jan gives him a gift that will last a lifetime: a seven-inch single called âLucky Starâ. Casting Madonna in the role of his spirit guide, Charlie draws on the pop iconâs audacity and ambition to help him find the courage to overcome his own obstacles and become a success in life. His obsession sees him through some tough times, but in order to be truly happy, heâll need to find his own inner strength. |
