A hilarious new series by award-winning author Phil Earle which introduces Finn N. O. Hope and his life of epic failure! Perfect for readers of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Loki and Tom Gates.
Finn just wants to survive Year 7, but his life is destined to be a series of epic fails.
It’s only Tuesday and his scheming, unicorn-obsessed little sister has already stuck a horn to his head (with superglue) and his properly evil older brother has wedgied him 278 times.
And don’t even ask what happened at swimming, in front of the WHOLE CLASS. At least he has best friends Laszlo (a hopeless romantic) and Google (ask her anything) by his side as he attempts to turn failure into victory in his very own book that is definitely not a diary.
When the Sky Falls by Phil Earle won the 2022 British Book Award for Children’s Fiction Book of the Year, the Books Are My Bag Readers Award and the Times Children’s Book of the Year.
