Reviews
I read My Headteacher is an Evil Genius, and thought it was hilarious and clever and laugh-out-loud funny, with many snort-worthy jokes and delightfully bonkers bits. I loved the drawings, and how the text and images danced around each other, and I didn't mind spilling my drink guffawing explosively at some of the sharp wordplay and silly puns. A delight to read, and definitely one I'll recommend! * Thomas Taylor, author of Malamander *
Hilarious! Had me properly laughing * Katie Tsang, author of the Sam Wu Is Not Afraid series *
Cranks up the fun factor to eleven! * Philip Ardagh, Roald Dahl Funny Prize winning author *
Featured in First News in Jack Noel's Words For Life Interview. * First News *
It is full of humour, cleverly written and a real page turner; I was eager to find out what happens next.
I don't have a single bad thing to say about it and would definitely recommend it to my friends. I think children of any reading age would really enjoy this book.
