Additional Details
Originally published: South Africa : Penguin Books, 2005.
In 1990, thirteen-year-old John "Spud" Milton, a prepubescent choirboy, keeps a diary of his first year at an elite, boys-only boarding school in South Africa, as he deals with bizarre housemates, wild crushes, embarrassingly dysfunctional parents, and much more.

Very funny
It's a very funny book that any teenage guy (and some girls) will enjoy. Van de Ruit is a great author and I wish the newest book in the Spud series, Learning to Fly, was available in the U.S.
