Description

Hilarious book about a boy coping with puberty, family break-ups, friends, enemies and girls - all recorded in a journal that he has to keep if he wants the Xbox that is rightly his! According to his tyrannical teacher (and much to his parents' horror), 11-year-old Andy Flegg is a reluctant writer. So that's how he finds himself forced to write in a journal every day until his next birthday if he wants to get the Xbox that his parents had already promised him. That's a ridiculous number of Xboxless days! But somehow this writing thing seems to grow on Andy and he soon finds himself revealing all too much!

Author Bio

Mark Pardoe was born in England but moved to Melbourne in 1996, when he finally accepted that he had no chance of making it as either a soccer star or a racing driver in his country of birth. After foolishly working in some serious jobs like banking and telecommunications, he eventually retrained as a primary school teacher in 2006. Mark currently lives in Perth with his wife, Melissa, daughter, Sally, and dog, Jazz, as well as several small unnamed geckos that seem to like it in their house.
