There’s a warning attached to this book. It is side-splittingly funny and it will find you rolling around on the carpet - laughing hysterically and gasping for air. Focus on, an elite boys boarding school, a boy called Spud, parents who are well beyond the lunatic fringe and a cast of stranger than fiction characters – friendships and insanity pervade the ether and together the first steps to manhood are taken. A wonderful debut, written in diary form.
It's 1990. Apartheid is crumbling, Nelson Mandela has just been released from prison and thirteen-year-old Spud Milton is about to start his first year at an elite boys-only boarding school. Cursed with embarrassingly dysfunctional parents, a nutty granny and a dormitory full of strange characters, Spud has his hands full trying to adapt to his new home.
