This is a very embarrassing book. It's a book about awkward moments, impossible situations and desperate circumstances; it's about red faces, cold sweats and serious cringing; it's about putting your heart on the line and hoping it isn't squashed by the first train into the station. In short, it's a book about being a teenager. But that means it's also about heroes, adventure, excitement, and how that first kiss can turn your stomach, and your whole world, upside down. Two briefcases arrive at a humble secondary school, accompanied by two boys from a posh private school. Tasked with showing them how the other half lives are three pupils: Josephine, Winston and Andrew. They have to guide these newbies through the madness, mischief and miscreants of their new school... without incident. Fat chance! A briefcase goes missing. They have to get it back. Worse is, they know who has it. Moose, mayhem and Manchester tart - what's not to like?
