Meccano Apprentice 2

Growing up in a hurry is the second book of the Meccano Apprentice trilogy and the next stage in the adolescent race to reach adulthood - that glorious, magical world of love, fun, freedom and ... responsibility and National Service.




The apprentice forms a bicycle touring club with fellow Meccano workers and embarks on an ambitious tour of Scotland. He leaves behind his early attempts at losing his virginity - stymied by a last-minute prophylactic malfunction - and the bowel-loosening incidents with high-powered factory machinery, for new adventures, of an outdoor kind.
