The Worst Day Ever! by James Bishop
Jun. 1st, 2022 11:04 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Chloe’s having a bad day.
First she stubbed her toe. Now she’s being followed by an alien. It can only get better, right? WRONG.
Mylan’s travelling the universe, looking for someone having a bad day, to help them.
But after Mylan makes a TINY mistake, suddenly earth is about to be ‘recycled’. Chloe and Dylan must save the planet!
Throw in a swanky spaceship, a grumpy queen of the universe and some technology that could go haywire at any moment … and you have an amazing INTERGALACTIC ADVENTURE!
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
James Bishop’s funny science fiction book for readers aged 7+ has a great emphasis on empathy and wanting to help (even if you’re not great at it!) and the kind of poo jokes that younger readers will enjoy while Fay Austin’s jolly illustrations riff nicely on Bishop’s ideas. However the humour is quite forced at times and a little over-constructed and as a result, it didn’t quite work for me, although I’d check out Bishop’s other books.
THE WORST DAY EVER! was released in the United Kingdom on 6th January 2022. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
