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.
