'Very funny, very touching, very truthful - a total delight to
read.' Jacqueline Wilson 'Amazing' Noel Fielding A laugh-out-loud,
against-all-odds triumph of a story: the funniest debut of 2021
SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2022 BLUE PETER BOOK AWARD SHORTLISTED FOR THE
2022 COSTA CHILDREN'S BOOK AWARD SELECTED FOR THE 2022 READ FOR
EMPATHY COLLECTION Billy Plimpton is an eleven-year-old boy with a
big dream. He wants to be a stand-up comedian when he grows up:
delivering pinpoint punch-lines and having audiences hang on his
every hilarious word. A tough career for anyone, but surely
impossible for Billy, who has a stammer. How will he find his
voice, if his voice won't let him speak? The idea for this story
came from Helen Rutter's son, who has a stammer: she wanted to
write the book that he would love to read, starring a child like
him. Praise for The Boy Who Made Everyone Laugh 'This incredibly
debut tugs at your heartstrings and makes you laugh out loud in
equal measure. I guarantee you'll be cheering along in the final
pages!' Lisa Thompson 'It's Wonder with one-liners.' Scott Evans,
The Reader Teacher 'As warm and wise as it is funny.' Shappi
Khorsandi 'A laugh out loud story, the like of which I've never
read before.' Kerry Godliman 'This book is a great way of showing
children how to be confident and winners by having a sense of
humour and making others laugh.' Baroness Floella Benjamin 'This
book is brilliant. It is funny, wise, kind and exciting.' Marcus
Brigstocke 'So funny and joyful.' Rachel Parris

An action-packed eco-thriller for 11+ readers from award-winning
children's author, Victoria Williamson. On a remote Scottish
island, fourteen-year-old Max's life changes forever when he loses
his hearing in a boating accident. Struggling to make sense of his
new life and finding it hard to adapt in school, he begins to
notice other - even stranger - changes taking place when a new wind
farm appears off the island's coast. With the help of three school
friends with additional support needs, Max discovers that a
sinister scientist, Doctor Ashwood, is using wind turbines to
experiment on the islanders. They must find a way to shut down the
government's secret test before it spins out of control...
Boys. 7 of them, to be exact.
Megan is used to moving from place to place -- it's typical for an
army brat. But she drew the line at South Korea. She insists on
staying in the States to finish her last two years of high school.
So her parents made arrangements for Megan to live with their
friends, the McGowans...and the McGowans' 7 sons.
Turns out, living with 7 boys might as well be a foreign country
The boys are messy. They are cliquey (who knew?). And worst of all,
two of the oldest boys are H-O-T. (A problem considering they are
supposed to be Megan's "brothers.") Megan is definitely in enemy
territory. She needs to win over the boys' hearts without totally
crushing her own.
And when Megan starts falling for one of them, sibling rivalry
takes on a whole new meaning....
What is a girl to do?
