Synopsis

Book 2 of 2: Stick Boy

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

When Baron Ben gives the residents of Little Town an exciting new gadget that lets them explore virtual worlds, they can’t wait to try it out! Before long everyone is plugged into their techy treats. Everyone that is, except Stick Boy. Left to his own devices and suspicious of Baron Ben’s generous gift, Stick is on the case. And when his investigations lead him to a secret underground lair full of robots preparing to take over the town, it’s up to Stick Boy to save the day!

Funny... exciting... highlights the power of connection and the empowering feeling of friendship, inclusion and belonging, as well as solving a mystery... A thought-provoking and successful debut.

This book is twisty and turny and VERY funny... A sure-fire hit with reluctant readers.

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.
