Dante N. Ferno is winning . . . at being a LOSER.

Meet Dante, (who is definitely NOT a loser) in this hilarious, highly illustrated book for children aged 7+, by author/illustrator Brian Gordon. Perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Loki.

Ever since his trousers fell down in front of the whole school, Dante has struggled to shake off his seriously uncool reputation. Luckily, he has a foolproof plan to become the most popular kid at his new school:

1. Completely reinvent himself. 2. Make a ton of friends and accept his nomination as their leader. 3. Become good at sports stuff and win all the game things. 4. Rub his newfound popularity in the face of all the haters he grew up with.

Sounds easy, right? Well think again - Purg School is attended by infamous creatures from myths and legends and they're not going to let him shake off his loser status overnight! Dante is going to have his work cut out to beat the bullies and show the world that he is NOT a loser.

Brian Gordon decided when he was six that he was going to be a cartoonist when he grew up. He spent the rest of his childhood drawing, writing funny stories and running away from bullies who didn't like his drawings or his stories. Despite being told by his teachers that cartooning wasn't a 'real job', he's happy to have proved them wrong and has been drawing silly things for a living ever since. He spent the first half of his career making greeting cards, but for over a decade, he's been writing Fowl Language, a webcomic read by millions around the world, about the ups and downs of parenting four kids. Now, he's also writing stories for kids - Dante N. Ferno is his debut series for kids. He has a wife named Cat and a dog named Pickles, who is very soft and loves getting his ears scratched.
