That lasted only so long as it took him to try to incite a walk-out, but it's only the first time he's mistaken as an adult.

He plays on the notion that World of Warcraft (the multiplayer online role-playing game with millions of subscribers) is the place young people best learn about problem solving and the real world. All of the main characters, but especially Liam and Florida, learn what "dadliness" is really all about.I've had this ARC sitting on my shelf for a few months now, and if I'd known how much fun it would be and how much I'd like it, I would have read it as soon as I got it. They would also only drop off a case of books and leave us to run it – it was so lovely to have you on hand to chat to the children and recommend them books, as well as the small (but appreciated! but it's clear to the reader that he isn't really trying to take advantage of people, he just likes to have big adventures. Honestly I think he went and sat in the hallway of some random World of Warcraft convention and wrote down a few terms and phrases then stuck them into his limited model of video games.

The majority of the book, however, is dedicated to their time in space, orbiting the moon in a shuttle that closely resembles an ice-cream bus. To live in the world and find yourself getting free rides at the amusement park, free car rides, and all the perks that go with the job . Yourself and Bob are much cherished in our booky world and I personally really appreciate everything that you do.He sort of won a contest for the world’s greatest dads and conned his classmate Florida into pretending to be his daughter. Can you convince the other children that your best friend’s ‘Dad’ is the one they’d most want with them? To the book’s readers, Liam is convincingly a kid throughout his story, even as he convinces the adults he encounters that he is an adult.

This book follows the story of a 12-year-old boy, Liam, who is often mistaken for an adult due to his height and facial hair. So reading this aloud was interesting, because there was much in there for the parent to think about when pushing your kids to strive for success, excellence or even tidying their room. It's very jarring to leave the British vocabulary but not the spelling, and seriously, when you hear or picture British people talking, they do leave the "U"s in! What if you’re lucky enough to win but learn that the competition is for four children and you’ve posed as an adult? He manages to convince Dr Drax that the children should have an adult present, but Dr Drax decides to let the children vote on which Dad they want with them by voting on them after a series of challenges.It's up to me to note books that get stars from major trade publications, and this book has a whopping SIX.

Yesterday a parent came over to tell me how impressed she was by the book fair and that you did a fabulous job of selling the books to the children first.

Bronnie is so lovely with the boys and we also felt that having a man enthusing about the books set a great example. His books have been shortlisted for a multitude of prizes, including the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize, the Whitbread Children's Fiction Award (now the Costa Book Award) and the Roald Dahl Funny Prize. This experience has been fantastic primarily for the children, the school and also for me (professionally).
