Perfect Toast Bob Bryant

Perfect Toast takes a riotous romp through the hot summer of 1959, capturing the exploits of 15-year-old Colin 'Brillo' Paddick as he enjoys his last schoolboy summer of freedom before entering the world of work. Occupied with thoughts of exams and job applications, intermingled with daydreams about Wendy Matthews and popping his cherry, as well as trying to keep an eye on Lamont, the thespian who always seems to be lurking around Colin's mum as soon as his back is turned, Colin's chaotic life is an hilarious reflection of an angst-ridden, hot blooded teenager. When his pals, Ronny - moonshine connoisseur, chemist and all-round eccentric - and Tulip - who attracts mischief wherever he treads - are around, the antics and shenanigans take on a whole new level! From pesky Brownies who keep turning up at the most inopportune times, and whisky-fuelled fires in caravans, to the first cat in space and poor old Bill Potter's uncanny demise into a ready-made grave, this rollicking read will keep you giggling from start to finish. If you love historical fiction, a good yarn, and lots of laughter along the way, you're going to love Perfect Toast.
