Forgotten your homework and need to WING it?
Wish you could talk your way out of DETENTION?
Want to SQUASH your bullies and RISE to the top?
Join Kamal as he attempts to go from PUKE BOY to POPULAR!
Kamal is better than anyone else in his school at fading into the background. When you're a refugee and you've started a new school three times in as many years, you learn to keep your head down.
But, after a major puke incident in front of the whole school, being invisible is no longer an option. And when Kamal finds a mysterious CHEAT BOOK in the library that promises to help him gain popularity, he sees a chance to finally make his mark . . .
Um, where can I get a Cheat Book for myself? A magical book that always knows how to solve the problem you're facing? Yes please!
The illustrations really add to this story, with the cartoons bringing a lot of fun. My favourite are the two angels sitting on Kamal's shoulders, who comment on what's going on, give him (mostly unheeded) advice and at times even suit up as football commentators, for when just one snide comment won't do!
The story itself has a lot of moments that children will recognise, and ends on a great note. I'm looking forward to getting this one in!
The Cheat Book publishes on the 6th of June, 2024. I received a free copy and am giving an honest review.
