Ardagh, Philip.
THE FALL OF FERGAL, OR, NOT SO DINGLY IN THE DELL
New York : Henry Holt, 2004.
IL 3-6
ISBN 0805074767
"The very last words young Fergal McNally heard in his life were: 'Don't lean out of the window!'  The very last sounds were probably the air whistling past his sticky-out ears as he fell the fourteen stories, the honk of traffic horns below (getting nearer and nearer, of course), and -- possibly -- the SP of the SPLAT! he himself made as he hit the pavement."  So begins the tale of Fergal McNally.  What had brought Fergal to that window involves his sisters, his one legged father, and, of course, the Tap 'n Type contest.  Don't worry too much about Fergal.  Things are not always as they seem.
