A laugh-aloud collection of stories about cricket, kissing and school from award-winning children's author Pat Flynn. Tony Ross is an ordinary 13-year-old boy with big dreams: he wants to prove he's as good as his best mate Kane and he wants to kiss Ashleigh Simpkin – the love of his life. But dreams don't always go the way we see them in our head. Tony finds this out when he ends up dead. You'll laugh, you'll cry, but mostly you'll be amazed at the crazy stunts that Tony pulls to win a cricket match and capture a girl's heart.
