I haven't read 'Up and Down' yet but I did enjoy his other two books.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to start bringing out the spring clothes. They seem to be more colourful.
Terry Fallis quickly became one of my favourite authors. I highly recommend 'Up and Down' there is a scene about a PowerPoint presentation that had me in stitches. He has four books out now, I've only two so far and must get to the other two. He's such a great writer.
