Children's & Educational; Humorous stories (Children's&YA)

Discover the humour and excitement of becoming a Somebody in Morris Gleitzman's Second Childhood.

'A brilliantly funny writer' Sunday Telegraph If you don't wake up to yourself, Smalley,' Mr Cruickshank said, 'do you know what you're going to end up as?' 'Sheep's poop, sir,' said Mark.

Mark's father has always wanted him to be a Somebody. But unless Mark picks up at school, it looks like sheep's poop is where he's heading. Then Mark and his friends discover they've lived before. Not only that - they were Famous and Important People!

Which is lots of fun.

At first.

A funny, fast-moving story about the ups and downs of being a Somebody.
