Finally persuaded to take a job as an agony uncle for 'Teen Scene' magazine, cooler-than-cool Dave suddenly finds himself knee deep in the adolescent outpourings of his readership. But one letter stands out from the rest. Thirteen-year-old Nicola O'Connell doesn't want advice about boys - she wants to know about Dave. Because she's convinced that Dave Harding is her dad. And she's got the facts to prove it...

Light, sweet, a dash of humour and a great read on a man's view of the world.

Nothing but praise from me! So read it!

My Review: March 2005

The book reminded me a little of Tony Parson's "Man & Boy" and a little of "About a Boy" by Nick Hornby. Both times it's about a man and a boy, obviously. Here it is about a man and a girl, but apart from that not really different.
I wonder how much of it is autobiografical, since the physical description of the 1st person narrator fits perfectly to the photo of Mike Gayle on the back cover.
The language is simple English, really easy to read and understand. Therefore it took me only a day to read this book. I did smile here and there, but I did't laugh out loud. Maybe it wasn't the right topic for laughing, there is a serious tone to it.

The book is now reserved for Blacksheep.
