Noah's back, and more bananas!
He and Harry are now officially boyfriends, but is Noah ready for the difference?
It's no help that a group of cosmopolitan French exchange students have descended on Little Fobbing - including sexy Pierre Victoire, who seems to have his eye on Harry! Meanwhile, Noah's paired up with a girl ... who, most outrageously, is not even French.
But that's not all: the police are monitoring Noah, and he can't tell if it's because
- his dad and secret half-brother, Eric, have made off with his gran's fake diamonds;
- because his PE teacher is receiving mysterious cash infusions from Russia;
- or because drag queen Bambi Sugapops is hiding out at Noah's house in the midst of a knock-down, bare-knuckled drag feud.
Will Noah ever catch a break?!
