JOHNNY WORMS is a fourteen year old boy who has an eye for the girls. Unfortunately the girls don't seem to have an eye for him. So he changes his name to CASANOVA in the hope that it will change his luck, but it doesn't. Sex remains as elusive as ever. He has swallowed the image of a romantic lover as a caring, sensitive soul. He writes love poetry and learns the guitar to serenade the girls. He prinks and preens his sacred locks and dresses to kill, but can't pluck up the courage to ask a girl out. He's a mass of hormonal confusion, hopelessly in love with any girl who will give him the time of day unless they're Deborah Smeeton.

In The Changing Face of Johnny Casanova Johnny is a year older, a year… hairier! Meet the all-new, all manly Johnny Casanova. He's got hordes of have-a-go hormones and he doesn't wear pyjamas! He could do without the spots though, especially when gorgeous Bosie Cricket cartwheels into his life and puts his heart in a spin. Could it be he'll finally get a snog?

MAKE ME PERFECT

Dear God, make me handsome

Dear God, clear my zits

Dear God, make me Mr Sex

Whom girlies love to bits

(Amen)
