It's hard to come up with a completely original book these days and the 'new kid at school' plot is well covered, but not like this. Stick Boy is an uniquely original character and this is a great book for secure readers. I'm sure it'll go down well at school.

Synopsis

Book 1 of 2: Stick Boy

It's tough fitting in when you're born to stick out!

From the moment Stick Boy and his family move to Little Town, there is way more to worry about than being the new kid. There's a mysterious plot involving Baron Ben's new Mega Mall, pop star Jonny Vidwire and the highly suspicious HomeBots that are infiltrating every home in town. Can Stick Boy and his friends uncover the evil plan behind it all before it's too late?

An incredibly exciting and extremely funny new world for middle grade readers and fans of DIARY OF A WIMPY KID, TOM GATES and TIMMY FAILURE.

Reviews

This is such a cute story. It does start very abruptly, so be careful about that, but once it's going it's going. There's no background, either, no explanation for why Stick Boy is a stick. It doesn't matter, though; he is a stick, everyone accepts it, and it works for the story. It's actually quite a good thing; several times Stick's special abilities are the key to getting out of whatever problem they're in at the minute.

About the author

Paul Coomey

Paul Coomey was born in Cork, where his mother taught him to read in 1982. His favourite book that year was Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss, and he hasn’t stopped reading since. He learned to write creatively at Kilmurray National School, where he was the only student to ever achieve a mark of 9/10 for an essay, awarded by Headmaster Der Hartnett for a story about a wolf in the snow.

When he isn’t writing and illustrating books, Paul works as an Art Director at a brilliant little company called Wonderbly, and sometimes does workshops and portfolio reviews at UCL and AUB and with the AOI and SCBWI.

He lives in London with his wife Tanvi Kant, and in his spare time his favourite things to do are read comics and go to the sea.
