At five feet and three inches, he towered above your average sixth grader and represented the kind of shambling, slow-witted menace that no primary school could be without . . . In a poll conducted at the beginning of grade six, Julian Crowler was voted the second most frightening sight in the playground. Julian Crowler eating a meat pie was voted first.' This hilarious novel takes us down memory land to grade six primary school - to the games we played and the friendships we formed. To weirdo teachers, schoolyard scuffles and scary moments outside the Principal's office. It's also the story of a crush, and one boy's quest to win over a girl called Jenny.
