My life and other exploding chickens by Tristan Bancks
Random House, 2016. ISBN 9780857985316
(Age: 9+) Highly recommended. My life and other exploding
chickens is about the life of our main character, Tom Weekly,
and is written from his viewpoint. Tom recounts hilarious stories of
his life, from a crazy dentist visit to funny dot points about his
cat. We find out about the crazy girl who has a crush on Tom as well
as the girl he is crushing on. Read about Tom's friend who had a
knitting needle stuck in her bum cheek and how Tom fears the library
ninjas!
This is a hilarious novel aimed at and highly recommended for boys
aged 9+. Each chapter is a short story in itself so even the most
reluctant readers will find themselves engaged in each descriptive
and 'giggle' moment! There are even a few gross moments - like the
nits that grow and grow because of tomato sauce! What child won't
like to read about that!
