The first person narrative, fast and funny in a Moleish way, of a 16-year-old wimp starting Sixth Form College with one CSE. Large-than-life family and friends whirl around the thick, wet hero - who isn't, ultimately, of course. Once or twice the humour overtries, and Sixth Form Colleges don't have 7000 students but, minor grumbles aside, it's an enjoyable book which should attract 14+ male readers, hooray. It's for girls too, good enough for book boxes and short sets - and highly tempting to read aloud.
