''Fresh and funny'' - Sunday Times Children''s Book of the Week The hilarious and moving new book from funny fiction superstar Sam Copeland, author of the bestselling Charlie Changes Into a Chicken . Uma Gn Review: Fun, absorbing, well written. - This story is great fun, with the humour being pitched absolutely correctly for this age group and well enough done that an adult would enjoy it too. The pacing is perfect, keeping a reader's interest throughout. Although it does touch on difficult themes, such as grief and mental health, these are so beautifully threaded through the story that it does not feel like an emotional overload has occurred. The ultimate message is that things can be dealt with so the endpoint is uplifting. It's fun, well written, absorbing, ideal for the age-group. Review: Superbly written; Definitely a modern classic. - Being able to pack so much fun into a book that also has a very up to date and strong storyline is sheer genius. My nine year old grand-daughter loves this book, as indeed do I !

Another corker from a brilliant author
Ordered this for my 11-year-old son who has previously greatly enjoyed the Charlie books by the same author. Very glad I did, he loved it and finished it in just a few days - recommend!
