My Private Pectus


Book Description

My Private Pectus is a serious yet comical portrayal of teenager Jack McDermott's struggle to discover who is, what he's meant to look like, and how much he should care about what other people think. Jack's chest deformity, pectus excavatum, is symbolic of the body image issues teenage boys face in schools today. A realistic story about cars, footy, a love interest, and the commonly forgotten ingredient: a young man's emotions. Cynical and occasionally irrational, Jack McDermott (or Sticks to his mates) gets himself into serious and at times hilarious situations in efforts to prove his manhood.

My Private Pectus


Book Description

"There's something different about my body. It's not something I'm proud of either, not something I show anyone. It's like the missing piece of a jigsaw you can't take your eyes off. If I were to take off my shirt you wouldn't see my face, my freckles or ratty hair. You'd just suck your cheeks in and stare. All you'd see is the depression in the middle of my chest."A realistic story about cars, footy, a love interest, and the commonly forgotten ingredient: a young man's emotions.
