A magical tale for children who like an exciting story with
edge.Life was very ordinary for ten-year-old Robyn Silver. The
often-ignored middle child in a big family, the most excitement she
had was the dash to the dinner table to reach the last slice of
pizza. Until... she begins to see creepy creatures around her town
- creatures that are invisible to everyone else. And when her
school is forced to decamp to mysterious Grimdean House and she
meets its equally mysterious owner, Mr Cryptorum, Robyn finds
herself catapulted headfirst into an extraordinary adventure - with
more excitement than she could possibly have imagined. Be careful
what you wish for... It is high time we had a fantastic new female
middle-grade character to root for - Robyn is more than a match for
Hamish and his Worldstoppers, and Finn of Darkmouth fame Robyn is
brave and bold, completely relatable - and with an aspirational
magical edge A pacy, imaginative, hugely appealing storyline with
some SERIOUSLY scary monsters PRAISE FOR ROBYN SILVER While the
story has a strong female lead, it is a book that will appeal to
both genders. ... it really made me laugh - Madge Eekal Reviews
From million-copy bestselling author David Baddiel comes a
laugh-out-loud story for readers of 8 and up that takes you on a
roller-coaster ride of fame and friendship… Nothing extraordinary
has ever happened to Billy Smith. In fact, every single thing about
him is ordinary, including his name. But when a documentary crew
turns up at Billy’s school to film the new TV series School Daze,
everything changes. Billy shouldn’t stand out: all the other kids
are much more interesting than him. But when remixes of his boring
class presentation go viral, Billy finds himself accidentally an
overnight star. With his friends Bo and Rinor by his side, his life
turns into a whirlwind of red carpets, TV shows, albums and even
the possibility of meeting Sunshine De Marto – the coolest girl
on the planet. But as everyone knows, fame comes with a price…
The Boy Who Got Accidentally Famous is an epically entertaining
tale, brought to life with illustrations by the brilliant Steven
Lenton, which asks the question – what if everyone suddenly knew
your name…?
