Is Spud by South African author John Howard van de Ruit. This book is extremely funny. It is the story of a teen boy in school dealing with typical teen boy issues. Spud is called spud for a reason... and for this reason, you can't help but feel a little sorry for him. He runs around with his dorm mates (a serious cast of characters) called the "crazy eights".
This books also details the political and social issues of South Africa. I wouldn't pass this book up, even if it doesn't look like your usual cup of tea!
