'Eric Underwood is what some people would call a loser and a westie, but he's doing the best he can. He didn't get the looks, he doesn't get the luck, and even when he does get the girl, it never seems to last for long.
'So far he's abandoned Veronica to the sharks (two-legged and otherwise), been told he'll be travelling to England with his grandma, been caught snogging his pillow, been banished to the shed-and that's only the beginning! Eric's story will make you feel good about yourself!'

When Eric Underwood (aka Spaghetti Legs and Pizza Features) unexpectedly makes the journey from boyhood to manhood, the only question he wants to ask is: can he please go back? His essays drive teachers out of their minds, the love of his life dumps him, his best friend hangs around the supermarket with a trolley full of bananas (hoping to pick up more than potassium poisoning) and his father's practically zoned out in front of the golf on TV. It's all another show about nothing! Eric wants to lock himself in his bedroom forever, and if it wasn't for the Teletubbies and the sudden arrival of Imelda, the Scots girl he French kissed in an English pub, he'd just about make it.
