Stuff

Stuff is the nickname of our hero, Simon (because he knows a lot of weird stuff). Stuff's parents have split up, and his dad has brought back a new step-mum (the Sherry Trifle), a step-sister (the awful Natasha) and a radical feminist rabbit called Pankhurst (she only attacks men - spooky). In Stuff's own words, here is how he tries (and fails) to run away from home. How he tries to get off with the beautiful Sky, and dump girlfriend Delfine (without being beaten up by her psycho brother). In fact, how to get through life as a teenage boy.

Reviews

His books crackle with good humour and invention

—— TES

There is something of a good Channel 4 series in this engaging, froth-free plot . . . Good, heart-warming fare

—— Guardian

This book is a memorable celebration of the the power of friendship

—— Lesley Agnew, The Bookseller

Instant teen appeal

—— Sunday Telegraph

Teenage girls who have read the first three books will find this essential reading to round off the series

—— The School Librarian

As always, Chambers writes with the fierce intelligence and honesty which distinguishes his work. If more novels of adolescence had this quality and seriousness, we wouldn't risk losing those readers who feel patronised by teenage fiction

—— Linda Newbery , TES Teacher

A complex book . . . resulting in a believable and inviting world

—— School Library Journal
