Sinopsis

 

'Very funny, very touching, very truthful - a total delight to read.' Jacqueline Wilson

'Amazing' Noel Fielding

A laugh-out-loud, against-all-odds triumph of a story: the funniest debut of 2021

  • WINNER OF THE LOLLIES AWARD 2023
  • SELECTED FOR THE 2022 READ FOR EMPATHY COLLECTION 

 

Billy Plimpton is an eleven-year-old boy with a big dream.

He wants to be a stand-up comedian when he grows up: delivering pinpoint punch-lines and having audiences hang on his every hilarious word.

A tough career for anyone, but surely impossible for Billy, who has a stammer. How will he find his voice, if his voice won't let him speak?

The idea for this story came from Helen Rutter's son, who has a stammer: she wanted to write the book that he would love to read, starring a child like him.

 

Don't miss the second book in Billy's adventures: The Funniest Boy in the World
