Spud Summary

Spud is a rowdy boarding school romp full of illegal midnight swims, raging hormones, and catastrophic holidays that will leave the whole family in total hysterics and thirsty for more.

“A deeply funny chronicle of male adolescence.”—Entertainment Weekly
“An instant laugh . . . Meet Spud, and expect the unexpected.”—Redbook

Seems like wherever I go, madness isn’t far behind . . .

It’s 1990. Apartheid is crumbling. Nelson Mandela has just been released from prison. And Spud Milton—a thirteen-year-old prepubescent choirboy—is about to start his first year at an elite boys-only boarding school. Cursed with embarrassingly dysfunctional parents, a senile granny named Wombat, and a dorm packed with rule-breaking ruffians (Gecko, Rambo, Fatty, and Mad Dog), Spud has his hands full trying to adapt to his new home.

Armed with only his wits and his diary, Spud takes his first hilarious steps toward manhood—learning a little about life, first loves, and friendship along the way.
