Michael is the best swimmer in the school, probably the state, maybe the

country. He trains all the time, determined to do his best for himself, for the coach,

for his

parents, for everyone. Then one day he sees a skater fly down

the hill

on a board and he starts to wonder if there is more to

life than

swimming.

Stuff Happens is an important new series for boys about everyday

challenges. Created by Susannah McFarlane, the series editor, the series

is written by established

authors Tony Wilson, Andrew Daddo, Philip

Gwynne, Will Kostakis, Oliver

Phommavanh, Scot Gardner, Justin D'Ath, James Roy, Pat Flynn and Alex McDiarmid. Each book

features a different character

and follows

them as they overcome a

particular everyday challenge.

Aimed at boys aged between 7 and

11, the Stuff Happens series

explores those everyday struggles in life

that boys can sometimes be

reluctant to express- quarrels with mates, a

bad day at school, fear of

disappointing mum and dad, rejection and

not fitting in.

Stuff Happens. Real-life stories for boys. Suitable for beginner and newly confident readers.

Stuff happens sometimes. Everyday stuff.

At school, at home, with sport, with mates.

For Michael it happened when he thought he was letting his parents down.
