School is over and summer has begun in the dead-end seaside town of Rainmouth. While Jamie's friends seem to be happy working in the local pie factory by day and looking for sex by night, Jamie is bored out of his mind and desperate to get out of there. However when he meets American traveller Juliana at a party, he's smitten, it seems the world is not so small after all. Alarm bells go off when a couple of local teens go missing and Jamie is warned by an enigmatic stranger that a werewolf is in town who preys solely on virgin flesh.<br /> The only way to be safe seems to be to pop your cherry.

Manchester, North of England, 1976. The now much diminished, but still claustrophobic and dysfunctional, Khan family continues to struggle for survival. Sajid, the youngest Khan, the runt of the litter, is deep in pubescent crisis and under heavy assault both from his father’s tyrannical insistence on Pakistani tradition, as well as the fierce bullies in the schoolyard. <br /> <br /> In a last, desperate attempt to ‘sort him out’, his father decides to pack him off to Mrs Khan No 1 and family in the Punjab, the wife and daughters he had abandoned 35 years earlier. It is not long before Ella Khan (Mrs Khan No 2), with a small entourage from Salford, England, swiftly follows to sort out the mess, past and present. Sequel to East is East, West is West is the coming of age story of both 15 year old Sajid and of his father, 60 year old George Khan.
