Spud 3: Learning to Fly plot
Spud Milton continues the uneasy journey to adulthood. He learns one of life's most important lessons: when you deal with women, nothing is as it seems. "I'm practically a man in most areas," Spud writes confidently on his sixteenth birthday. It is 1992 and radical change is in the air in South Africa. Spud hopes for a smooth transition when he returns to his boarding school. However, he discovers that his nemesis has returned to bully him, and that a chatty Malawian has moved into his room. Spud tries to master Shakespeare, struggles with God and the power of negative thinking, and develops an aversion to fried fish after a shocking discovery about his grandmother, Wombat.
