Skeeta Anderson has a problem: a rather embarrassing problem. He wakes up one summer morning and . . . well, something rather important is missing. And how's he supposed to keep his shorts up without it?
It turns out that some 496 people in his town have a similarly embarrassing problem - although they find it politer to just ignore it. Not Skeeta, though. He wants his back. But when it comes down to it, will people claim their own bums, or grab one that's better looking? Lots of laughs and a fantastically imaginative idea from one of Australia's best writers.
