A hilarious novel for teenagersabout faking it till you make it and what it means to be a man.
Jack Sprigley isnt just a late-bloomer. Hes a no-bloomer. Hes about to start the last term of year nine and puberty is still a total no-show.Worse yet, he hasnt heard from his friends all holidays. He assumes theyve finally dumped him and his child-like body except then he finds out that its much worse than that. His friends are now so far ahead of him that theyve started hooking up and getting girlfriends.
Jack is screwed.
But then he comes up with a plan to catch up and win his friends back. And his plan is perfect: he just has to fake puberty.
