The Accidental Diary of B.U.G.: Basically Famous

Get ready for the second hilarious diary of unforgettable Billie Upton Green!

OK, things just got INTERESTING.

Not only is Billie's class learning how to P.E.E. in the classroom (seriously - don't ask), they now have some very important contacts in the TV world. Plus Billie's mums are keeping a HUGE secret and Billie is determined to figure it out!

But, Billie isn't going to be distracted, it's time for B.U.G. to make it BIG!

Praise for B.U.G

Reviews

  • This cheery, highly illustrated diary story, more rooted in contemporary reality than Liz Pichon's Tom Gates books, is the first in a series that's sure to find devoted fans.

    Guardian

  • A sparky, funny new series perfect for fans of Diary of A Wimpy Kid.

    Daily Mail

  • Ideal for fans of Tom Gates, or Pamela Butchart's books . . . a wonderful new series.

    The Week Junior

  • Jen Carney is literally a comic genius! As an adopted person myself, it was so wonderful to see an adoptee having fun, living her best life (with biscuits) and being basically awesome! I highly recommend this riotous read . . . My kids and I can't wait for more books from the talent and wonder that is Jen Carney!

    Maisie Chan, author of Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths

  • Fun, funny, inclusive and warm-hearted, these books are pure, cheery joy

    Sophie Anderson, author of The House with Chicken Legs

Billie Upton Green aka B.U.G. (although don't ever call her BUG!) has started her own diary. Billie's teacher wants her to use her new jotter to practice her spellings but that's the WORST IDEA EVER.
