Anyone who likes Mac Blacks Please call me Derek (and the rest in the series covering his grownup adventures) will enjoy introducing younger friends and family to his new series, Sweaty and Pals. Sweaty and Pals Again continues Dereks exploits with his gang in the eighties, with quirky illustrations (by Mac Black), the stories build on Dereks ability to find disasters and get himself into one mess after another.Sweatys tales are about little kids enjoying life, before smartphones and computer games came along. Of course, it is just possible if youareolder than five that you did all these things yourselfMac has embraced writing for younger readers with the same quirky clean humour that permeates his YA series. From Sweatys days at school, we meet some of the wonderful characters who pepper the adult books, subtly dealing with issues around prejudice, being different, living with the elderly, dealing with lifes issues but in a gentle, nononsense way that exposes the social discrimination and values that we took for granted, in those days, but we would not accept, today. This makes these stories a perfect springboard for class discussions about daily life for children thirty years ago compared with now.
