Publisher Description
Spud Milton (practically a man in most areas) is hoping for a smooth ride as he returns to boarding school as a senior. But instead he finds his vindictive arch-enemy is back to taunt him and a garrulous new boy has taken residence in his dorm, along with the regular inmates and misfits he calls friends. Spud's world has never felt more uncertain as he attempts to master Shakespeare, girls, religion and the meaning of life.
Once again, armed only with his wits and his diary, Spud invites us on a hilarious journey deep into the sublime and ridiculous world of being a teenager.
Customer Reviews
My Series
Having read the other two in the series and loving them, I was overjoyed when the third book came out. Once again , Van de Ruit has mixed hilarious comedy with a realistic, if quirky, drama. The book is easy and enjoyable to read. My only complaint is that part of me wanted to read it constantly because it was so good, but another part of me wanted to savour the book for a while; I ended up reading it twice... It's so relatable - we all have those weird little things on our lives that make them interesting, and this book just takes these to a whole new, but not unreal, level.
Basically, I loved it and so will you. Especially if you're in a similar situation to Spud! Read it, love it!
Great
Brilliant book and i hope there will be another book in the series
Totally recommend
This is a truly brilliant book. I have now read all three and my only regret is that there is no more of this witty prose left. Quickly addictive!
