Everyone’s heard of people with a fear of heights or a phobia about rats, but what if you’re scared of teenage girls? That’s Martin’s peculiar problem.
Martin is a middle-aged man who lives on his own in the house he shared with his mother until she died. She ruled him with a rod of iron and he still obeys the rules she set down. Keep a low profile. Never leave the house when schools are out.
So what can he do when some teenage girls start sitting on the wall of his front garden day after day? Why are they interested in him?
He asks the police to help but they don’t want to know. And neither do his neighbours.
What is he going to do? And what are the girls going to do?
