So when Chocky starts causing Matthew a great deal of distress and questions at school Matthew's parents find themselves forced to go to the professionals. But where does this voice come from? And what price will Matthew pay for his unusual friendship? 'Remains fresh and disturbing in an entirely unexpected way'Observer
