- Book Synopsis
-
The second title in the bestselling series from the brilliantly talented Liz Pichon.
No school for two whole weeks! (Yeah!)
I can forget ALL about lessons (and irritating things like Marcus Meldrew).
And concentrate on good stuff like:
Inventing new ways to annoy my sister Delia. (So many).
Band practice for DOGZOMBIES (with my mate Derek).
Watching TV and eating caramel wafers.
Eating caramel wafers and watching TV.
Excellent.
Unfortunately a couple of small problems called the dentist and my big weirdo sister, Delia, seem to be getting in the way of my BRILLIANT plans . . .
