It's 1990. Apartheid is crumbling. Nelson Mandela has just been released from prison. And Spud Milton - a thirteen-year-old prepubescent choirboy - is about to start his first year at an elite boys-only boarding school in Durban, South Africa.
Cursed with embarrassingly dysfunctional parents, a senile granny named Wombat, and a wild obsession with Julia Roberts, Spud has his hands full trying to adapt to his new home.
Armed with only his wits and his diary, Spud takes his first hilarious steps toward manhood - learning a little about life, first loves, and friendship along the way. "Spud" is a rowdy boarding school romp full of illegal midnight swims, raging hormones, and catastrophic holidays that will leave the entire family in total hysterics and thirsty for more.
