This is a well written coming of age book set in England in the 1980s. Jason is a 13-year-old growing up amid family troubles, schoolyard politics and cruelties while trying to keep two deep dark secrets. Jason has a stammer and writes poetry. Both would be deadly if the other kids found out. Great 1980s atmosphere and a plethora of British slang that will humble even the most devout Anglophile.
