Kerby: Funny tales from a 1990's Scottish childhood
WARNING: Contains explicit content and strong language. Not for the easily offended!
Ever stood on the opposite pavement from a friend and launched a ball at their kerb for points?
Still feel guilty about the Tamagotchi you starved to death?
Disappointed 2015 hasn’t brought hoverboards, self-drying jackets and flying Deloreans?
Remember swapping your doublers of McCoist and Leighton for that elusive Celtic badge shiny?
Then grab a copy of KERBY and relive the 1990s!
In his hilarious first book, Graeme Johnston looks back on what childhood in Scotland was like in the days when Neil Buchanan was everyone’s favourite artist, an empty Irn-Bru bottle was worth 20p and even the humble Nokia 3310 hadn’t been invented yet - with cringeworthy stories of classroom vomiting, diarrhea disasters and flagrant disregard for “NO BALL GAMES” signs, KERBY is sure to strike a chord with grown-up kids everywhere.

Although I grew up in the 70's I could relate to all of the tales told by the author
Absolutely brilliant laugh out loud read for anyone that has ever grown up in the West of Scotland. I thought that I had raised 2 of the worlds most lunatic sons but after reading this I have realised that my son's were just normal 90's kids ....in fact if I've ever grown up anywhere you should read this book !!!!
