Details

No wonder Benny's grumpy when he moves from Ireland to Tunisia-he lives on a compound, his parents are stricter than ever, he has hippies for teachers, and all his classmates seem to hate him! Then Benny befriends a local boy, Omar, who learned English from TV and who takes Benny on some great adventures. Still, something's bothering Benny: "Where's your family, Omar?" To which Omar replies, "No Homer. No Marge."

Benny does not like Tunisia. He has no friends, there is no hurling, his school is very different, and the climate is uncomfortable.
