Joe is twelve and very, very worried about girls. Girls turn boys into dribbling wrecks. They make you sweat and your tummy feel funny. They make you ditch your mates and football practice to go snogging in their bedrooms for hours. Joe knows. He's seen it happen to his brother. Joe wants none of it. And he doesn't want his friends to change either. So he comes up with the Boys' Club: a top-secret organization where boys can be boys and have nothing to do with girls.

But in reality it's a bit more complicated...Because things do change. And, with the arrival of Alex, a new face around school, Joe's life is about to change more than most...
