"Explosive adventures with Ferris and his family"
Lucky readers already familiar with Ferris and his family – mums, foster sister Keely and dog Aldo – will be delighted to see him back in another adventure.
Ferris has a new foster sibling Nile, who is never happier than when making things explode. At least Ferris gets some peace and quiet at school, where Nile is in a different class, but then workmen discover an unexploded WWII bomb on the site of the school’s new carpark. It’s a dream come true for Nile, and even Ferris is excited when the head launches a competition to design a new building to fill the gap the controlled explosion will leave.
As detonation day approaches, pressure mounts on Nile while Ferris too has lots that’s worrying him. The boys must pool their skills and work together to make sure everything ends with the right sort of bang.
Packed with the author’s own zingy cartoon illustrations, this is a hugely entertaining story that provides as much incident as it does insight, and, by the way, gives a real sense of the joys and challenges of fostering.
A brilliantly illustrated, genuinely funny book that champions empathy and acceptance with engaging characters in relatable able situations.
Ferris Foster is a brilliant cartoonist and lives with his two mums, who have been foster parents to a succession of children for years. Nile, the latest addition to their family, brings disruption and chaos to their household with his desire to take things apart or blow them up.
However, the discovery of an unexploded bomb during works to the school playground gives both boys a golden opportunity to achieve their wildest dreams - if they win the competition to design a facility for the whole school community. Can the two of them find enough common ground to work together on the project, and will Ferris be able stop the big changes on the horizon that threaten his way of life?
This is a fabulous addition to the author's existing range of brilliantly illustrated, genuinely funny and inclusive books.... Read Full Review
Buckle up, reader! This book is packed with comic strips and cartoons! The hilarious sequel to The Day My Dog Got Famous from the author of The Accidental Diary of B.U.G.
Since Ferris Foster's dog got famous, life has taken a surprising turn:
1. Ferris's new foster brother, Nile, has burst into his life with a BANG, making Ferris worry that his mums might give up fostering for good.
2. Something HUGE, OLD and DANGEROUS has been discovered under Ferris's school, causing it to CLOSE DOWN! (For now.)
3. Ferris is still a cartooning genius, but between homeschooling and Nile's dodgy science experiments, finding somewhere quiet to draw has become practically impossible.
Ferris' teacher presents the children with an arty competition, but can the boys put their differences aside, work as a team and win the once in a lifetime opportunity? Or will Nile's obsession with experiments have EXPLOSIVE consequences?
