A very humorous rambling story of the life of Eric Underwood, also known as Spaghetti Legs as he comes to terms with life as a teenager. Contagious down to earth humour. John Larkin has written several other books that are equally humourous and good value for this age group, particularly boys.

The story unravels at a fast pace when Jim, nicknamed Jimbo, and his best friend Charlie hear a highly suspicious conversation between two of their teachers. As the comical plot gets more and more compounded, we can’t help becoming totally immersed. Written extremely well, this hilarious story by Mark Haddon entertains to the very last page.
