A fast-paced, humorous story for boys and girls. Eleven year old Chris is only ever called by his nick-name, Sugar Bag Baby. He knows he shouldn't mind, should really feel grateful - after all many of the people in his village gave their last pennies to help pay for the special incubator that kept him alive when he was born prematurely, only the size and weight of a bag of sugar. But Sugar Bag Baby is sick and tired of being grateful and polite, and he hates his nickname. He can see only one way to break free - he will have to be so rude and rough that no-one will ever dare ruffle his hair affectionately again! But it turns out to be more difficult to be bad than Sugar Bag Baby expects!
