Lindsey Fraser's book choice in yesterday's Guardian was Plain Rude by Linda Aronson, a book undeservedly overlooked in recent Christmas roundups:
The book opens with a hilarious set piece - a school assembly to mark World Recycling Day, which Ian unwittingly sabotages when he is whacked across the chest by his heart's desire, unleashing the sheep's eyes he's holding (in order to dramatise a point) amongst his delighted fellow pupils.
