"Laugh out loud funny with perfect comic timing . Great for readers who might have loved Liz Pichon's Tom Gates, and hopefully a gateway to Alex Wheatle's brilliant Crongton series" - BookTrust "Wheatle's characteristic lively language, impassioned Star Wars references and colourful invented insults make for a brief but riotously relatable slapstick romp, ideal for reluctant readers" - Guardian "A hilarious, charming story . Peppered with Star Wars references and laugh out loud, cringeworthy moments that every awkward teen will relate to" - Scottish Book Trust "Drawing inspiration from his own schooldays, Wheatle captures the awkward raging-hormone angst and cringeworthy reality of being a teenager." - Children's Books Ireland "As thought provoking as it is hilarious" - Books for Keeps "A sharp-beat of a voice that is as fresh and as hip as is it awash with pop-cultural charm . not only riffs with a cultural and lexical discourse of today's youth but it also speaks for an audience who will have long been crying out for more voices like theirs for a very long time" - Mat Tobin.
