Eggington’s favourite rapper is back, Little Badman aka twelve-year-old Humza Khan, and his new adventure is just as action-packed and ludicrously entertaining as previous outings. He’s faced alien slugs and time-travelling robots in the past, but this time things are different. He’s started secondary school, and apart from the sorts of trouble you’d expect him to get into with the head, teachers and the school hard man, Humza also manages to become owner of a magical orb that can grant wishes.
As you can imagine, his own wishes cause mayhem, and he manages to accidentally set a zombie loose on his homework and shrink his dad to the size of a parsnip; but it’s when the orb falls into the hands of someone with plans for world domination that things get really out of control.
It’s a total blast from beginning to end and one-liners that will bring the classroom down. Humza has a fabulous way with words and comic timing that is second to none, but there are surprisingly tender moments too with his mum and dad. Sick!

About
Little Badman and the Rise of the Punjabi Zombies Synopsis
Time for another Little Badman adventure. This time, Humza, Umer and Wendy must face The Undead.
Welcome to Big School. Humza Khan - aka Little Badman, Eggington's greatest rapper - might have finally met his match. Evil teacher geniuses and giant killer hamsters (see previous Little Badman adventures for details) are nothing compared to starting a new school. He's already been out rap-battled by the school bully, laughed at by his classmates. Oh, and we haven't even mentioned the ancient magical orb causing havoc and very possibly leading to world destruction. At least Humza has found someone to help with his homework. It's just a shame this friend isn't exactly alive.
