The Day the Hiccups Took Over cover

When Frank's hiccups just won't STOP, they get him into all kinds of trouble in this madcap caper from comedy genius and bestselling author Jo Simmons.

A case of incurable hiccups leads to hilarity in this hilarious caper from comedy genius and bestselling author Jo Simmons.

Frank has a big day ahead of him, with a trip to the dentist, a trumpet exam, a swimming contest and, most important of all, he has tickets to see his knitting hero on stage right here in his hometown! But all that is put at risk when Frank wakes up with the hiccups. And they just won’t STOP! Helped by his new friend Daisy, Frank tries ever more madcap ideas to get the hiccups to go away. But will the whole day end in disappointment and humiliation, or will Frank manage to turn calamity into a dramatic triumph?
