Synopsis

Nate wakes up one morning to see The Opposite sitting on his ceiling. This impish creature manages to ensure that whatever Nate says, the opposite will be true. Nate tries to fix each thing as it goes wrong, but the opposite happens! The mess he's making soon gets him into trouble and it takes some very quick thinking, and a clever twist, for Nate to be able to get rid of The Opposite once and for all.

Media Reviews
With big, bold, surreal illustrations and engaging, offbeat humour, the book is a lovely way to explore the difficult, abstract concept of opposite with young children * Carousel *
This might be TV writer Tom McRae's first foray into children's books but the insight, humour and colour with which it explores the idea of opposites is that of a bona fide pro. * Kin London *

The Opposite is the absolute model of what a children's book should be: funny, original, simple and charming . . . All the hallmarks of a classic in fact. * Stephen Fry *
The hugely imaginative story is well matched by Elena Odriozola's expressive illustrations. -- Julia Eccleshare * Guardian *
