Description

No child is every ordinary - certainly not Salvatore d'Amato, or Sally Tomato, as he's sometimes called. He's out to get a girl and he has a plan; he's going to write a Disgusting Ditty for each letter of the alphabet, and take up secret body building without his sister noticing.

Reviews

FRUIT & NUTCASE: "this is an upbeat yet gritty story about the tenacity of love and the fact that life is never perfect." Scotland on Sunday BECKY BANANAS: "the writing transcends any trace of heaviness." The Guardian.
