Description
Spud by John van de Ruit is the first hilarious instalment in South Africa’s most beloved coming-of-age series. It’s 1990—the year Nelson Mandela is released, and the year John “Spud” Milton starts at an elite boys-only boarding school. Armed with his diary, a senile granny at home, and a dorm full of eccentric classmates—Gecko, Rambo, Rain Man, and Mad Dog—Spud must survive pranks, cricket matches, ghost hunts, disastrous family holidays, and his first brushes with love and friendship.
With laugh-out-loud moments and sharp insight, Spud perfectly captures the chaos of growing up and the madness of adolescence.
