'Hilarious book for upper primary school readers of 10+ about a boy coping with puberty, family break-ups, friends, enemies and girls, all while writing in a journal to prove you're not a reluctant writer (and earn the Xbox that is rightly yours)!
According to his boring blabbermouth teacher (and much to his mother's horror), 11-year-old Andy Flegg is a reluctant writer. So that's how he finds himself forced to write in a journal every day until his birthday if he wants to get the Xbox his parents had promised him. That's a ridiculous number of Xboxless days! But somehow this writing thing seems to grow on Andy and he soon finds himself revealing all too much!' (Publisher's blurb)
