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…?

Stone Cold is a Carnegie Medal-winning thriller by Robert
Swindells. It is one of The Originals from Penguin - iconic,
outspoken, first. A tense thriller plot is combined with a
perceptive and harrowing portrait of life on the streets as a
serial killer preys on the young and vulnerable homeless. Link,
aged 17, is distrustful of people until he pairs up with Deb,
another homeless youngster. But what Deb doesn't tell him is that
she's an ambitious young journalist on a self-imposed assignment to
track down the killer and she's prepared to use herself as bait ...
