of the Week
'It will have your children in stitches!' BBC Radio
Manchester
The 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.
