Sweaty and Pals, the first of the Sweaty series (for younger readers) is now out in print and on kindle… It takes readers back to Derek’s days as a young child – it even explains how Derek became Sweaty to his friends. Written as a collection of short stories and set firmly in the early eighties, this is a book perfect for class discussions about a world before human rights, before discrimination Acts and before life got complicated… where what is important are the friendships you make and keep for life – and kids were happy to explore what made them different – be it height or a stammer or a speech impediment.
