Boyhood

"Have you ever ALMOST burnt your entire house down and then attempted to cover your tracks, only to be caught out on a technicality by your mum, who used the FBI skills she probably learnt at 'Parent Academy'? If you have, then you know what I am talking about. If not, then strap yourselves in because this episode is literally FIRE in every sense of the word..."

BOYHOOD: A Teenage Survival Guide is a collection of earnest parables from author, Aslom Ullah. This, his first book, is jam-packed with pitfall pointers and cautionary tales for those primordial adolescent years in his own distinctive, lighthearted voice. Readers of all ages will enjoy his heartfelt (and often hilarious) recount of stories he considers most crucial for surviving boyhood, from how not to deal with a kitchen fire to determining the possible outcome of being hit by a BMW.

"This book masterfully blends humour with heartfelt moments, making it both touching and hilarious. As I turned the pages, I often felt as if Aslom was retelling parts of my own childhood, bringing back my own vivid memories and emotions."

- Simon James Hunt, author of Delilah Rose, The Bogey Princess
