Book details
They Think It's All over : An Almost Short Story by Dylan Douglas (Age 13)
Description
Dylan's been forced in to allowing his weird German penfriend, Rudi,
to stay for a week because it'll be Good For His Education (i.e.
his mum thought it'd be a good idea). Rudi is surgically attached
to his headphones, and apparently his rucksack, which he insists
on carrying in front of him (strange), and he thinks everything
about England's rubbish... it's going to be a long week. The
only bright spot is that Kate (the most brilliant girl Dylan knows)
also has a German exchange partner - maybe this means Dylan and
Kate'll get to hang out together... Er, with Rudi.
Dylan's advice: Do Not Let a Crazy German into Your House. (Not even
for educational purposes.)
