@BigJon_V Hi. We are working on that but as per the school era Spud books it takes time to reach abroad. In the short term E reader or bribing a saffa to bring one home for you is the best bet. I'm doing a Spud tour in Nov, send a friend and I will sign it for you.

@johnvanderuit any idea where Spud Reunion can be pre-ordered in the UK (but I want the SA covers to match my existing ones, not the intl covers)

Rambo Mad Dog Vern Fatty Garth Garlic Boggo Simon and SPUD 8 friends. 10 years. More CRAZY adventures 🥳 Travelling ten years into the beloved character's future, 'Spud - The Reunion' continues the famous series. 🥔'Spud: The Reunion' by @johnvanderuit is coming 8 November.

@BigJon_V Jon-Jon I'll keep you posted on this. Let's hope you can make your set complete.

Back in my old dormitory for the first time since filming Spud the Movie in 2010. Surreal.

@Pickled_Chef Ha! You must have sensed something was up. This is intuition.

@johnvanderuit I was packing my books about three weeks back, and I checked on your Twitter just to see if you had anything new out! I am a sangoma, obviously! Siyabonga bo! *hotfoots it to bookshop*

Greetings to all on X. Spud is back.

@mkowa1 @kimsupremacyyy That is an amazing achievement. Congrats and thank you. Truly. Publishing internationally from SA requires somebody in a publishing house or somebody like you who drives that forward.

@kimsupremacyyy @johnvanderuit Dear John, I translated "Spud" to german language and read it to my 13 years old students. They loved it! It is a disgrace that this great and deep story is not available for german talking people. Could you help publishing the translation?

the fact that exit , pursued by a bear wasn’t a movie because of troy sivan makes me SO MAD !🤬

@ke_Moipone @ExclusiveBooks @PanMacmillanSA Inspired. I had to look that up. Spud is indeed of the Bildungsroman genre. Finally I've found a fit. Bravo.

@johnvanderuit @ExclusiveBooks @PanMacmillanSA In the Bildungsroman genre, it truly is a constant favourite 😍 I look forward to the new instalment.
