Summary

'It's my diary of the last few months of Year Eleven. Pock-marked with study, dreams of Audrey, lunchtime chess with Noah, classes of yawning tedium with Mr Clegg, dreams of Audrey, sneering battles with Tim, football stories with Dad and more dreams of Audrey.' Darcy Franz Pele Walker, named by his football-crazy dad after his two favourite players, wants to go out with Audrey Benitez. She practises yoga. Darcy twists himself in knots as he battles school bullies, chess games with nerdy Noah and the school excursion from hell - all to be close to Audrey. Herrick takes us on a rites of passage journey through the maze of awkward adolescence. This is a gem of a book.
