The boy and the briefcase... and the moose

This is a very embarrassing book. It's a book about awkward moments, impossible situations and desperate circumstances; it's about red faces, cold sweats and serious cringing; it's about putting your heart on the line and hoping it isn't squashed by the first train into the station.

In short, it's a book about being a teenager. But that means it's also about heroes, adventure, excitement, and how that first kiss can turn your stomach, and your whole world, upside down. Two briefcases arrive at a humble secondary school, accompanied by two boys from a posh private school.

Tasked with showing them how the other half lives are three pupils: Josephine, Winston and Andrew.

They have to guide these newbies through the madness, mischief and miscreants of their new school... without incident. Fat chance!A briefcase goes missing. They have to get it back. Worse is, they know who has it. Moose, mayhem and Manchester tart - what's not to like?
