Description:
Alice never imagined she would end up like this, so anxious after ì hearing about the dangers of meteorites that she makes her ì children wear bike helmets in the wading pool. Her husband, ì David, has taught their four-year-old to list every animal ì represented in Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf. But the more they ì push their children, the more things there are to worry about. It ì seems no amount of gluten rationing or herbal teas can improve ì their children's intellectual development, and as Alice's eldest ì child looks set to fail her entrance exam for the exclusive ì private school on which her parents have pinned all their hopes, ì Alice decides to take matters into her own hands. With a baseball ì cap pulled low over her face, Alice shuffles into a hall of two ì hundred kids and takes the test in place of her daughter, her ì first examination in twenty years. With a comic eye for detail ì that has sent his books to the top of the British best-seller ì lists, May Contain Nuts is a funny, compelling, and ì provocative satire of the manic world of today's overcompetitive, ì overprotective families
