Product Information

Candy Gourlay introduces Wild Song, her companion novel to Bone Talk, in which Luki and Samkad leave their home in the Philippines for America. Art-enthusiast Trixie Pickle has a secret superhero identity: as the Art Avenger, she embarks on top secret, art-inspired missions to tackle injustice and challenge bullies. But fame and fortune can’t last forever, and Adam finds himself in a race against time to remember what’s truly important. He co-presented the CBBC show The Dog Ate My Homework and, in September 2020, he became the 40th presenter of Blue Peter.

All Adam dreams of is being a famous YouTuber like his heroes – but with a broken old phone, no money and absolutely zero online presence, it looks like that dream isn’t coming true anytime soon. As Adam starts accumulating more and more subscribers to his new video channel, his popularity starts to get out of control. When he accepts a mission to reach one million subscribers in one year, it becomes clear that he has bitten off way more than he can chew, and his life becomes one epic fail after another.Ross Welford introduces Time Travelling with a Tortoise, the sequel to Time Travelling with a Hamster, and a whole new time travel adventure! The cover is really eye-catching and I can see lots of children being drawn to this on my bookshelf. Biography: Adam Beales, known as AdamB, is a one of the UK's biggest YouTubers and children's television presenters.

Polly Crosby tells ReadingZone about her novel, This Tale is Forbidden (Scholastic), a fractured fairy tale set in a dystopian world. The days of wishing to become a popstar are over and so many children in the classroom these days dream of becoming the next You Tube sensation. In the dizzy haze of posh hotels and fancy TVs, he stupidly accepts the challenge to reach one million subscribers in one year and it soon becomes clear he's not quite cut out for what lies ahead. Adam Beales, known as AdamB, is a one of the UK's biggest YouTubers and children's television presenters.Bursting with zany characters, comic strip illustrations and fact files on real artists, this hilarious tale is hugely entertaining. As if by magic, Adam is thrown into a world of FAME, FORTUNE and hotels with really, really, really FANCY TVs! Featuring bold black-and-white illustrations from James Lancett throughout, this brilliant, bright hardback will make the perfect Christmas gift for budding young YouTubers everywhere! I would recommend this to children around ages 8-12 as I think they will be able to empathise most with the characters and the troubles they face. Everybody dreams of becoming a superstar YouTube sensation, but for Adam – a penniless, cameraless nobody, with only one friend – it isn't just a dream, it's a COMPLETE AND UTTER, NEVER-GOING-TO-HAPPEN-IN-A-MILLION-YEARS, ABSOLUTE IMPOSSIBILITY!

The perfect read for all budding young YouTubers, Adam Wins the Internet is the amazing debut kids' book from Blue Peter presenter and YouTube star AdamB!This is definitely a must-read book, just don’t expect hot drinks to stay hot cos you’ll be so absorbed in what you’re reading that the time will just slip by - Amanda G. Created by Blue Peter presenter and YouTube sensation Adam B, this is an ideal read for social media-obsessed children aged 8+ and a good reminder that the most important things in life aren’t always viewed through a screen. For Adam this isn't only the stuff of dreams - he has one friend, no camera, and no money - hence no chance of becoming anything famous, let alone an internet sensation. He is known for his illustrations for Lightning Girl by Alesha Dixon, the Avengers Assembly graphic novels, Max Einstein by James Patterson and many others.
