What if you suddenly had everything you'd ever dreamed of? That's
exactly what happens to 10-year-old Joe Smith in this hilarious,
brand-new comedy adventure from bestselling author, comedian and
presenter Danny Wallace, with illustrations throughout from Gemma
Correll. Perfect for children age 8+ and fans of David Baddiel,
Stephen Mangan, David Walliams, Andy Griffiths, Jenny Pearson and
Helen Rutter. Joe Smith is average in every way. He is average
height. He lives in an average town, on an average street, in an
average house, with a very average family. But when a survey
identifies him as the most average kid in the country - well that
makes him very special indeed. Suddenly, everyone wants Joe to test
out their latest products. Overnight he is sent mountains of gifts
- the best trainers, the coolest bike, the most exciting new tech,
the latest flavours of ice cream - and so much more. He gets
special cinema screenings and the entire water park all to himself.
Joe now has everything he could possibly want in the world - and
that's far from average. But is going from zero to hero all it's
cracked up to be? This brilliantly warm-hearted, laugh-out-loud
family adventure will leave you thinking about friendship, family
and why everyone is special just the way they are. Other books by
