Book description
Eric Underwood, also known as Spaghetti Legs and Pizza Features, serves
up the final course in the pasta trilogy: Lasagne Brain. Eric would love
to be an intellectual and here he unexpectedly takes the journey from
boyhood to manhood, and the only question he wants to ask is: can he go
back? With his mind-boggling essays driving teachers out of their minds,
the love of his life Veronica Roberts dumping him, his best friend
hanging round Woolies with a trolley full of bananas hoping to pick up
more than potassium poisoning, and his father watching pre-recorded
golf, there's only one thing for Eric to do: retreat to his bedroom in
self-imposed exile. Eric's ambition is to lock himself away for the rest
of his teenage years. And if it wasn't for the Teletubbies and the
arrival of Imelda, the Scots girl he French kissed in an English pub, he
might just have made it! John Larkin is one of Australia's funniest
writers and when he's away from his desk has been a supermarket trolley
boy, computer programmer and professional soccer player. He now writes
fiction and film scripts full time. His books with Hachette include the
Western Wildcats series, PIZZA FEATURES, NOSTRADAMUS AND THE INSTANT
NOODLES and LARKIN ABOUT IN IRELAND.
