Product description
‘Fun, unstuffy and wise’ Sunday Times Children’s Book of the Week‘It will have your children in stitches!’ BBC Radio ManchesterThe laugh-out-loud, against-all-odds triumph of a sequel to one of the bestselling children’s debuts of 2021. Billy Plimpton took to the stage and captivated the crowd at the triumphant ending to The Boy Who Made Everyone Laugh , and in the sequel, he’s going to go viral. Celebrity comedian Leo Leggett takes Billy under his wing, as his new sidekick: when Leo tweets a clip of his stand-up act, Billy suddenly becomes the most famous boy in the country. At first, this is GREAT – all the kids at school think he’s cool and he gets to appear on his favourite morning TV show. But Leo’s motives turn out to be shady and Billy must turn the tables in a very public way… The idea for this story came from Helen Rutter’s son, who has a stammer: she wanted to write the book that he would love to read, starring a child like him.
- packed with brilliant jokes and one-liners to make kids roar with laughter
- a book to encourage empathy and kindness in young readers
- Perfect for fans of Jacqueline Wilson, Lisa Thompson and Jenny Pearson.
