My Barmy Aunt Boomerang, The Coolest Act in School
Illustrated by Jamie Smith
(Bloomsbury Publishing PLC)
978-0747525134, RRP £3.99, Paperback
8-10 Junior/Middle
Roy Apps' television writing skills come to the fore here with the crazy, zany 'Aunt' from Oz. She's very visual and totally uninhibited, saying just what she thinks at full volume, everywhere. A clever exposé on how to acquire self-confidence, this has to be read for the sheer fun of it all. Do look for her wonderful taste in hats. They have to be seen to be believed.
