THE WINNER'S GRIP - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

When my uncle Rick (the author) had finished typing this blurb, I waited till early morning, sneaked downstairs (that's snuck for American readers), logged on to his laptop, deleted his work, and wrote this blurb instead. After all, The Winners Grip is all about ME so shouldn't I be the one to explain what the book's about?Rick wanted to write lies; that I eat all day long, hate birthdays and fancy a boy called Dirk Watchett, who's really a bully. And Rick said my dad was a reasonable cook - untrue. And he was going to reveal in too much detail how I came to be challenged by all sorts of wild animals, but nothing could harm me because I wore a special charm. OK, I do eat a lot, regularly, so what? He could have kept that quiet. And he never wrote how beautiful I am, and how ace I can be in English, and what a good mate I am to Chloe and, if I'm to be a good daughter, Dad would have to improve too.So, if you're looking for adventure, escapes, family problems, bullying and friendships, look no further - this book is for you. Now where are Rick's car keys . . . "The Winner's Grip is packed with O'Brien's wry wit. My class love his sense of humour. Can’t wait to read it to my Year 6 class."(James Cordeaux, Year 6 teacher.)
