The Private Blog of Joe Cowley cover

Warning! Contains embarrassing parents, freaky friends, and treacherous parrots!

14-year-old Joe Cowley didn't think his luck could get any worse. But then he finds out he has to share a bedroom with his new step-brother - wedgie-giving school bully Gav James - and Joe realizes all his worst nightmares are about to come true! Brilliantly funny and packed with doodles, this book will make you cry with laughter.The brilliantly funny and cringe-worthy secret blog of 14-year-old Joe Cowley (wannabe comic artist and self-confessed repeller of girls): Sunday 1st January So here's the thing. I've decided to start writing a blog. A private one. The idea is that it'll help me sort my life out, because quite frankly, it can't get much worse . . . · I gained the nickname Puke Skywalker after vomiting over Louise Bentley on the waltzer. · I am subjected to daily wedgies by my arch-enemy Gav James. · My so-called best mates are trying to get me killed in a bid to win £250 on You've Been Framed. This cannot go on. I have to do something, or I'll end up like Mad Morris down the park who thinks he's Jesus. By the end of next term, I'm going to be a completely different person. At least, that's the theory...

'I loved reading this. It's Adrian Mole meets Wimpy Kid, with the right mix of cringe-worthy and funny moments thrown in together...' * Nikki Heath, The School Librarian Journal *
