AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A quirky, delicious novel about a 14-year-old boy and his appetites ...

'Gus's life is getting out of hand. Muscle-bound Steve has started picking on him at school, his friends desert him, no one appreciates his gourmet lunches (except Brother Nicholas), and his older brother, Luke, insists on using Gus as a go-between for his romantic liaisons.

'When Luke sets his sights on the object of Gus's affection, the elegant, bulimic Trinity, things go completely out of control. And then there's the school camp to contend with ... What is a boy with a healthy appetite to do?'
