Praise for HOW NOT TO BE A BOY:

'Quite simply brilliant. I (genuinely) cried. I (genuinely) laughed out loud. It's profound, touching, personal yet universal . . . I loved it'
J.K. ROWLING

'With enormous poignancy and insight . . . Webb’s early portrait of himself as a hapless underdog navigating the boulder-strewn path of masculinity is vividly drawn and very funny . . . Echoes of Adrian Mole'
Guardian

'Takes us deftly from hilarity to heart-stopping hurt . . . A truly great read, full of heart'
DAWN FRENCH

'Frank and compelling . . . Laugh-out-loud funny . . . also, in parts, blink-back-tears sad. Why would I blink back tears rather than give full rein to the emotion? Well, Webb can explain'
Mail on Sunday

'Written with wit and clarity, How Not To Be a Boy is a funny, rueful, truthful book. I enjoyed every page'
STEPHEN FRY

'A brilliant telling of a sad story, it is also a manifesto for a change in attitudes . . . I laughed innumerable times and cried twice . . . You should give a copy to any young male you care about *****'
S Magazine, Sunday Express

'A witty, honest coming-of-age story with a subtext that tackles masculinity and manhood. Webb has a storytelling skill many would kill for'
