About the book

Synopsis

Dermot Milligan's got problems. He's overweight, and hooked on donuts. His mother has booked him in to see Dr Morlock, a nutritionist who looks like a Dementor. The diary is Dr Morlock's idea. Not only does Dermot have to write down how many donuts he eats, but also - and this is the really rubbish part - HIS FEELINGS!

This is Dermot's second hilarious adventure, featuring his battles against the bullies, and hardest of all, his beloved donuts. After one term at St Michaels, Dermot thinks things can't sink any lower. All his classmates call him Donut, his insane PE teacher Mr Fricker despises him, the evil Floppy-Haired kid is out to get him... and now someone seems to be, er, going to the toilet in inappropriate places around the school. The Head calls in the services of internationally famous poo expert Dr Morlock to help track down the culprit - and somehow the finger of suspicion is pointed at Dermot. Can he turn detective and find out who's behind the poo - before his reputation is ruined forever?

What the critics say

Like a donut, this book is somehow sweet and disgusting at the same time. Oh, and it's very funny too!
- Andy Stanton, author of MR GUM

Anthony McGowan's sequel to the Donut Diaries, with its tubby hero Dermot Milligan, is a cheeky and funny delight. The book is joyfully idiosyncratic (I won't dwell on Dermot's debate about good v evil baldy heads) and veers off at tangents, like Dermot's thoughts on why cherry-flavoured sweets are better than real cherries. The author's irreverence will appeal to young and old readers. This book is huge fun and, if personal experience is anything to go by, it will also start a new family habit of drawing on unpeeled banana skins.
- The Telegraph Online

Jolly and engaging and humorous.
- The Bookbag

Madcap and lavatorial
- The Observer

Plenty of laughs and a plot involving poo so it’s bound to be a hit.
