by Tony Ross (Illustrator), Ian Whybrow (Author)
Alex doesn't mean to cause trouble. He didn't mean to cover his dad with pink yoghurt, or drop the goldfish in the bath. He just couldn't help it! Alex's mum and dad ask him to keep out of trouble just for one day ...so the sideways skateboard isn't SUCH a bad idea, is it? From football to go karting, and real heroes and aliens, Books for Boys are packed with high action, adventure and humour, ideal for turning reluctant boy readers into lifelong bookworms. Ideal for fans of HARRY AND THE DINOSAURS who are ready to move on to chapter books.

Book Overview: Books with blatant boy appeal which offer first steps on the path to reading confidence.
