Author: John O'Farrell

Binding: Paperback
Alice never imagined she would end up like this, so anxious after
hearing about the dangers of meteorites that she makes her
children wear bike helmets in the wading pool. Her husband,
David, has taught their four-year-old to list every animal
represented in Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf. But the more they
push their children, the more things there are to worry about. It
seems no amount of gluten rationing or herbal teas can improve
their children's intellectual development, and as Alice's eldest
child looks set to fail her entrance exam for the exclusive
private school on which her parents have pinned all their hopes,
Alice decides to take matters into her own hands. With a baseball
cap pulled low over her face, Alice shuffles into a hall of two
hundred kids and takes the test in place of her daughter, her
first examination in twenty years. With a comic eye for detail
that has sent his books to the top of the British best-seller
lists, May Contain Nuts is a funny, compelling, and
provocative satire of the manic world of today's overcompetitive,
overprotective families
