	Just finished reading "Box of Tricks" by Jeff Phelps . Set in the early 1960s in New Brighton, written from a young lad's perspective when he stays with his grandmother, aunt and cousin in his aunt's boarding house. Well worth a read, especially if you remember being a teen in that period, or the area New Brighton, Birkenhead and the Mersey generally :-) http://jeffphelps.co.uk/

	Ann I did love Chocolate Girls I dont know if I have said this already but there is a follow up and Carol I really enjoyed at my Mothers knee I think it was beauifully observed. The Devil rides again by Mr OGrady is a little more serious and is more how he copes with being teenage father and also is sexuality I haven't read the lastest one bit too expensive for me at the moment... will be happy to know if anyone recomends any good freebies for kindles :-D
