Black Swan Green by David Mitchell

Jason Taylor is 13, doomed to be growing up in the most boring family in the deadest village in the dullest county in the most tedious nation (England) on earth. And he stammers. This novel follows 13 months in his life as he negotiates the pitfalls of school and home and contends with bullies, girls and family politics.
