The Day My School Got Famous

BUCKLE UP, READER! THIS BOOK IS BURSTING WITH COMIC STRIPS AND CARTOONS!

Since Ferris Foster’s dog got famous, life has taken another surprising turn:

1. Ferris’s new foster brother, Nile, has arrived with a BANG, causing mischief wherever he goes!

2. An unexploded Second World War bomb has been discovered under Ferris's school, causing it to CLOSE DOWN!

3. Ferris is still a cartooning genius, but between temporary homeschooling and Nile’s noisy science experiments, it's practically impossible to draw anything!

When the headteacher sets the school a design challenge, Ferris realizes he MUST find a way to work with Nile. But can the boys put their differences aside in order to win the once-in-a-lifetime prize? Or will this partnership have EXPLOSIVE consequences?!

A genuinely uplifting, heartfelt, inclusive and moving story, fizzing with mischief and humour
