can mix. Ever since James's dad left, he can't seem to stop

fun (and delicious!) distraction. But no matter how many amazing
soufflés James makes, he still feels like there's a missing
ingredient in his life. When James hears someone rapping in the
playground one breaktime, he's completely hooked and starts writing
his own raps featuring all of his favourite things - maths, his
giant pet rabbit Graham and of course - cake! Then he discovers
that grime artist Brukka is on the hunt for new talent and James
wonders if this is his chance to share his muffins, his music, and
maybe even his feelings with the whole school. If he can just find
the confidence . . .

Brought to you by Penguin. Presenting a mischievous new reading of
Roald Dahl's George's Marvellous Medicine, read by BAFTA-winning
comedian Romesh Ranganathan. This immersive audiobook is bursting
with phizzwhizzing sound effects, dynamic sound design, and
original music composed by Rusty Bradshaw. George Kranky's grandma
is a grouch. She's always mean to George (and not much nicer to his
parents either). She just LOVES being mean and miserable! Once when
George is put in charge of giving Grandma her medicine, he wonders
if he could come up with his own remedy to try and help her become
less of a grump. So, using some rather unusual ingredients, George
creates his magic medicine*. But will it stop his grandma from
being so horrible . . . or will it blow the top of her head off?!
*WARNING: Do NOT try to make George's Marvellous Medicine
yourselves at home. It's likely to be dangerous. Listen to George's
Marvellous Medicine and other fantastical Roald Dahl audiobooks,
including: James and the Giant Peach, read by James Acaster.

Confronted by the realities of adulthood, Romesh Ranganathan must
face an uncomfortable truth: this is not quite how he imagined it.
Watching his friends descend into middle age, his waist thicken
with every meal and his finances dwindle to fund his family's
middle class aspirations, Romesh reflects on the demands of daily
life and the challenges of adulting in the modern world. As he
reluctantly concludes that he is indeed a grown man, Rom wrestles
with the greater questions that threaten his being: Could I save my
family in a crisis? Do I possess the skills to assemble flatpack
furniture? Am I too old for streetwear? Is it alright to parent my
kids through the medium of Fortnite? Is celibacy the secret to a
passionate marriage? From one of the countries most beloved
comedians and author of the Sunday Times bestseller STRAIGHT OUTTA
CRAWLEY comes the hilarious and painfully accurate dissection of
what it really means to grow up.
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER ____________ Straight Outta Crawley is
the hilarious and irreverent autobiography from comedian Romesh
Ranganathan. At the age of 9, Romesh Ranganathan delivered his
first ever stand-up set at a Pontin's holiday camp talent
competition, smashing the other competitor, a young girl playing
the kazoo. The gig went so well that Romesh retired his comic
genius for twenty-two years, hiding behind the guise of a maths
teacher, before finally revealing himself again (no, not like that)
at the tender age of 31. In 2010, Ranganathan staged his epic
comeback gig to an almost silent room, and has since gone on to
earn his place as the most in-demand overweight vegan Sri Lankan
comedian in Britain. Now, for the first time, he tells the full
story of how he got here. From the delights of Sri Lankan
hospitality to his struggles as a child, teacher and now parent, to
his adolescent flirtation with a rap career and his attempts to
make it in comedy, Straight Outta Crawley is Ranganathan's
hilarious and irreverent autobiography.
