Series: Billy Growing Up

Suitable for boys and girls aged 7 to 9

In this book Billy and Ant mess about on their way to school buying sweets and they are late. To cover up for their lateness they tell their form teacher a lie about getting a puncture in a bike tyre, but they get carried away with their own storytelling. Everyone hopes to get away with a lie--that's why they are told--but there is always a consequence, as Billy and Ant find out. Even their teacher gets into trouble, and she has nothing to do with the lie itself. When the police turn up at school investigating a robbery, Billy and Ant's lie is uncovered. The outcome is that Billy and Ant's teachers and parents are very disappointed in the boys for lying and getting into trouble. Parents prefer to know the truth, no matter how bad it is; there is nothing worse than finding out that someone you love and trust has been deceiving you. It is best to be honest, suffer the consequences at the time, and learn from the experience.

I am a dad of two grown children, and a stepfather to three more. I started writing five years ago with books designed to appeal to the inner child in adults - very English humour. My daughter Louise, reminded me of the bedtime stories I told her, and suggested I write them down for others to enjoy. I haven't yet, but instead I have written this eight-book series for 8 to 11-year-old boys and girls. Each one is a traditional story dealing with negative behaviours, but with positive outcomes. Although the main characters, Billy and his friends, are made up, Billy's dog, Jacko, is based on our much-loved family pet, which, with our second dog Malibu, caused havoc and mayhem to the delight of my children and consternation of me.Prior to writing, I was a college lecturer, and later worked in the computer industry, at a time before smartphones and tablets, when computers were powered by steam, and stood as high as a bus.
