Spud – Learning to Fly

£7.99

As Spud Milton continues his diabolical stagger through adolescence, he learns one of life’s most important lessons: when dealing with women and cretins, nothing is ever quite as it seems. In this 3rd instalment, Spud, now 16 and growing up, takes on one of Shakespeare’s most popular comedies, ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’.

Spud Milton (practically a man in most areas) is hoping for a smooth ride as he returns to boarding school as a senior. But instead he finds his vindictive arch-enemy is back to taunt him and a garrulous new boy has taken residence in his dorm, along with the regular inmates and misfits he calls friends. Spud’s world has never felt more uncertain as he attempts to master Shakespeare, girls, religion and the meaning of life.

Once again, armed only with his wits and his diary, Spud invites us on a hilarious journey deep into the sublime and ridiculous world of being a teenager.
