Bestselling Andy McNab and award-winning Phil Earle join forces for
the very first time, and the results are hilarious! Danny Mack's
mates are brilliant: there's his best mate Giraffles (yeh, you read
that right), so-called because of his unusually long neck; the
MandM twins (you got it - like the chocolate) who are always
finishing each other's sentences; and Lucky Success, who, well I
reckon you can guess how he got his name. They're the best mates a
kid could ask for, and when an epic school trip is announced,
they're all properly made up about it. Because school trips are
just an excuse to have a big laugh with your mates, right? Erm,
WRONG. Let's just say that this is a school trip like no other, and
Danny, Giraffles, Lucky and the MandMs have got a real challenge on
their hands. Will they make it through? If Danny has anything to do
with it, you bet they will! Brilliantly illustrated by Robin
Boyden, illustrator of David Solomon's My Arch-Enemy is a Brain in
a Jar, and full of laughs and a lot of heart, Get Me Out of Here!
is without a doubt the book of the year.
