The Secret Life of Jamie B (Rapstar)

Ceri Worman
(Orchard)
160pp, 978-1843623908, RRP £4.99, Paperback
8-10 Junior/Middle
Buy "The Secret Life of Jamie B. Rapstar" on Amazon

Having just got over his experience as a super spy, Jamie B is now a well accomplished rapstar. Flashing between action and thought (the passages where his life as a rapstar coincide with everyday life in none too accurate but gloriously optimistic detail), Jamie B manages to uncover shady goings-on with a language school, and in the process gets two crooks arrested. The story proceeds at a hilarious pace, and the interplay among the characters is as realistic as ever. Worman's insights and understandings are consistently sharp and always humorously expressed - I imagine that the book will be snapped up by children once it appears in class libraries.
