My Name is Mackenzie Bly

Meet MacKenzie Bly, as he navigates the trials of life while struggling with the vexed issue of being a teenage boy. Perfect for fans of Sue Townsend.

I am fourteen years old and I’m called MacKenzie Bly. It’s a good name, isn’t it? Unfortunately, I just made it up, I’m actually called Philip Stephens which, if there was ever a competition for the world’s most boring name, would be a clear winner.

But given that I’m the size of a vending machine and I hate sport, my parents might as well have called me ‘Fattus Butticus’ for all the difference it would have made….

Oh, and my best friend Sy has just moved to New Zealand.

Life is terrible.

I hope you enjoy reading this.
