“Sometimes the only way to make sense of my life is to put it all into charts and diagrams… But even that just makes me realise how far away from normal my family is…”
A funny title from a new author filled with distinctive infographics and charts by Chris Judge.
Readers aged 7-10 with an appetite for humour presented this way will welcome a new character to follow.
Second in the Sam Little series from cartoonist and illustrator Joe Berger.
Praise for the first title: `Comic-strip frames, drawn with energy and silliness, are interspersed with a smattering of text, all the way to the entertaining twist. [Sam’s] arrival is to be welcomed.’ The Sunday Times
Harriet is seven. And a quarter. Horace is seventeenth century. And a STATUE! But, after a rocky start, their friendship is soon on a very firm footing and they take up the challenge to help Horace come down from his pedestal and get to grips with modern life. Separated by centuries. Joined by a common purpose. Horace and Harriet are rock solid!
Amusingly hyperbolic and likable, Sam is an engaging protagonist – though it’s his little sister, Lucy, who kicks serious butt.
IMOGEN RUSSELL WILLIAMS Guardian Review
Waterstones
A new laugh-out-loud story, from the brilliantly funny author of the Joe Cowley series and My Embarrassing Dad’s Gone Viral.
Being funny is a good gig and it’s pretty much the only thing Max Walburt is good at. At least he thinks he’s good at it . . .
From the author of DEMOLITION DAD, the CBBC Book of the Month June 2017, comes the fourth and final hilarious Storey Street by Phil Earle, illustrated by Waterstones Children’s Book Prize-shortlisted artist, Sara Ogilvie.
From BBC Radio 2 presenter and X Factor host Dermot O’Leary with illustrations throughout by Nick East.
Ben has one important thing on his Christmas list, and it’s the same thing every year. He wants his dad to be at home for Christmas. But his wish never comes true…
Sad scenario, hilarious outcome.
