ABOUT THE BOOK
Shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award 2011
Tochtli lives in a palace. He loves hats, samurai, guillotines and dictionaries, and what he wants more than anything right now is a new pet for his private zoo: a pygmy hippopotamus from Liberia.
But Tochtli is a child whose father is a drug baron on the verge of taking over a powerful cartel, and he is growing up in a luxurious hideout that he shares with hitmen, dealers, servants and the odd corrupt politician or two.
Told entirely in the voice of a precocious boy who sees far more than he understands, Down the Rabbit Hole is a short, masterful and darkly comic first novel about the delirious journey to grant a child’s wish.
