About this listen
'In my old school, we had fighting, no pool and there'd be vicious matches against the other schools...I miss all that stuff!'
Moving to Africa is the worst thing that has ever happened to Benny Shaw. No one plays hurling (the best game on the planet), and the local school is run by hippies who like to talk about feelings. As if.
But when Benny meets wisecracking Omar (the name's Bond, James Bond Omar) who only speaks English in TV catchphrases, he decides that maybe life in this new country can be fun after all.

Abridged version
I love the book, but this audiobook is seriously abridged and I’m not sure why!
Things that I noticed are cut:
The Shaw’s orientation meeting
The party where Benny spills food on Grace
Half of the school trip visit to the psychotic farm
Benny and Omar’s trip to the hospital when Benny was supposed to be babysitting Georgie Crawler
Georgie’s injury
Benny’s punishment
Also some of the dialogue was cut, just like random sentences when Omar copies Benny ‘Axe you know’ etc
I enjoyed the narration but yeah, be warned this is seriously abridged !
