The Day My Brother Got Famous is the third book in Jen Carney's new series, perfect for fans of Danny Wallace and Liz Pichon; get ready for a heart-warming new adventure packed with comic strips and cartoons!

First Ferris Foster's dog got famous, and then his school did! He's ready for normal life again, that is until his new foster brother Arthur arrives-

The boys couldn't be more different- Arthur is OBSESSED with space, whereas Ferris has more down-to-earth hobbies, like rating crisps out of 10. Arthur's going to spend half-term at camp, giving Ferris the time (and space) to draw the best cartoon ever and win a grand cash prize that could change everything. On top of all that, Ferris and his mums are preparing for a nerve-wracking interview which will decide if they'll finally become his foster-sister Keely's forever family.

But when the Fosters drop Arthur off at Camp Space-Tacular, he has a SUPERNOVA of a meltdown and doesn't want Ferris to leave! Can Ferris help Arthur, draw his competition-winning comic, and convince Keely's social worker he's the perfect big brother, or are his plans just too astronomical?!
