The Boy with the Biggest Head in the World by Lincoln Peirce

1.0

1.5/5 I picked this up because I thought the comic strip style would appeal to some of my reluctant readers but I was disappointed by the incredibly basic plot - boy hates school, boy says horrid things about his teachers and classmates, boy ends up in detention a lot - I can see how it would appeal to a very narrow demographic among 9/10 year old boys but I wish it encouraged more positive behaviour for them. All boys don't hate school, enjoy rough play with friends and fancy girls in their class! There are some humorous moments (the world record attempt and Nate's poetry page were fun) that give me some hope for the rest if the series but I won't be reading on to see if it improves and I won't be recommending these to my pupils either.
