Description
?Finn just wants to survive Year 7, but his life is destined to be a series of epic fails. It's only Tuesday and his scheming, unicorn-obsessed little sister has already stuck a horn to his head (with superglue) and his properly evil older brother has wedgied him 278 times. And don't even ask what happened at swimming, in front of the WHOLE CLASS. At least he has best friends Laszlo (a hopeless romantic) and Google (ask her anything) by his side as he attempts to turn failure into victory in his very own book that is definitely not a diary.

Deeply relatable and utterly HILARIOUS with a fabulous cast of characters and excellent comedic timing. A book that will make the reader smile from start to finish (with a big splash of CRINGE on Finn's behalf).

Kids will love this book. I can relate to Finn especially because we both have a PE teacher from hell. Those who love Loki and the Wimpy Kid will definitely love this one.
Lisa S, Librarian
Hurrah for the shorter funny books!
This one is fabulously cringeworthy, a fabulous stray dog (who care about the stink!) plus a shoutout for one of the best snacks of all time :D
Will definately have appeal for those who have read and loved Loki, Wimpy Kid, etc.
Emma P, Reviewer
Ooooo this one was bundles of fun... sorry Finn! Fabulous cast of characters capturing school friendships ups and downs, plus the all important family dynamics. Loved the witty narrative.
Fast-paced antics, with heaps of humour and a great cast of characters. Roll on book 2!
