Loved this book from start to finish. An amazing sequel to the first. It was lovely being back in the world of Billy Plimpton and seeing the development of all the characters.

A middle grade story telling the issues of fame, social media and addictions.
This is the second book about Billy Plimpton and is was good to see what he was up to now. The jokes were cringe but amusing and the morals were woven throughout the story well.
I think this is an important read for kids and parents alike.

Loved this first book. This one was just as good. Billy wants to become famous by telling his jokes but realises fame isn’t all he thought it was
