The Day My School Got Famous cover

BUCKLE UP, READER! THIS BOOK IS BURSTING WITH COMIC STRIPS AND CARTOONS!

Since Ferris Foster’s dog got famous, life has taken another surprising turn:

1. Ferris’s new foster brother, Nile, has arrived with a BANG, causing mischief wherever he goes!

2. An unexploded Second World War bomb has been discovered under Ferris's school, causing it to CLOSE DOWN!

3. Ferris is still a cartooning genius, but between temporary homeschooling and Nile’s noisy science experiments, it's practically impossible to draw anything!

When the headteacher sets the school a design challenge, Ferris realizes he MUST find a way to work with Nile. But can the boys put their differences aside in order to win the once-in-a-lifetime prize? Or will this partnership have EXPLOSIVE consequences?!
