As a child I buried myself in books both at home in Essex and at my grandparents’ houses in Cornwall, where I spent a large part of my time, and where many of my stories are now set. Books and later films were an escape not just from where I was but who I was, which, as I saw it, was pretty much a geek. They gave me the freedom to become someone else, from George in the Famous Five to Velvet Brown winning the Grand National to Baby dancing the Chachacha with Johnny Castle.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

The Worst Class In the World is a funny and laugh out loud book for children.

4B get up to two days of antics in this book- a biscuit battle and a show and tell disaster which children will find hilarious! The illustrations are funny too!

I can't wait to see what 4B get up to next!

[Eve L-A Witherington · Rating 3 out of 5]

In this book, the worst class cause mayhem having a biscuit competition seeing who can make the best however as they anger their headmistress especially at show and tell when pets are taken in chaos ensues!



This was a fun book that kids who enjoyed Wigglesbottom Primary by Pamela Butchart will also enjoy packed full of chaos challenges, and quirky classmates I'm sure they're going to be more chaotic adventures ahead!



Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!

A raucous, fast-paced, joy of a book, that if it doesn't get your child snorting before the turn of the first page, I will personally and LITERALLY eat my imaginary lockdown hat.

This is a story that marches to the beat of its own bonkers drum. It captures the chaos and excitement of primary school with touches of real heart. An eccentric cast of characters is brought to life by the illustrations of Rikin Parekh, which crackle and fizz with punchy energy. This is a book that will excite children about reading and there's no higher praise than that.

Eindelijk de kans om dit deel in de serie ook te lezen en wat heb ik genoten zeg! Lekker gelachen om wat deze klas zoal uithaalde (en me steeds weer afvragen of deze klas ooit verder komt gegeven dat ze nou niet echt zo slim zijn). We hebben een verhaal over koekjes en een verhaal over een spreekbeurt. Met ranzige koekjes en maffe huisdieren. Die arme leraar. XD

My 9 year old daughter enjoyed reading this book and loved that the characters were able to bring their pets into school. She liked all the characters in the story and she wanted there to be more books in the series.

[Michelle (around - catching up!) · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is aimed at children (the 7 and 10 year olds in our family loved it), but I honestly enjoyed it just as much as they did. It reminded me a little bit of The Bash Street Kids comics, all good innocent fun.

Te veel vertaalde woorden (LETTERLIJK), die in het Nederlands minder goed aanslaan. Benieuwd wat kinderen ervan vinden. Wel zo uit (groot lettertype, veel illustraties).
