Reissued in Penguin's ORIGINALS series of powerful teenage fiction. MANNY WANTS TO BE A FOOTBALLER. OR A POP STAR. OR WRITE A BESTSELLER. HE DOESN'T WANT TO GET MARRIED... 'Harry and Ranjit were waiting for me - waiting to take me to Derby to a wedding. My wedding. A wedding that I hadn't asked for that I didn't want. To a girl who I didn't know... If they had bothered to open their eyes they would have seen me: seventeen angry upset but determined - determined to do my own thing to choose my own path in life...' Set partly in the UK and partly in the Punjab region of India this is a fresh bitingly perceptive and totally up-to-the-minute look at one young man's fight to free himself from family expectations and to be himself free to dance to his own tune.
