Slice: Juicy Moments from My Impossible Life

I'm sixteen years old and my mouth runs ahead of my brain. Our friend Pete would describe it as- ahem- premature enunciation. Mum says I talk without thinking. She's wrong, I mean what I say, I just shouldn't say it aloud.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Steven Herrick. Year 11 has never looked so funny.Darcy can cope with parents, parties and punch-ups. He can handle his infatuation with the beautiful Audrey, spending quality chess-time with his nerdy friend, Noah, even the misadventures of kayaking on a school excursion. He's a teenage boy, he can deal with it.

If only he'd learn to keep his mouth closed.

Crunchy, refreshing fiction from one of Australia's finest writers for young people.
