The War Diaries Of Alistair Fury 6: Exam Fever

The War Diaries Of Alistair Fury 6: Exam Fever

by JamieRix (Author)

Synopsis

A sixth instalment of the hilarious diaries of 11-year-old Alistair as he pits himself once more against parents, teachers, older siblings and the basic unfairness of life in general. Alistair knows he's bound to fail his school exams. It's not his fault that provocation from his dire brother and sister, Mel and William, and frequent meetings of the Revengers means that he never has time to do any revision, is it? All that's needed is to make sure Mel and William fail too, then their parents won't take it all out on Alistair. He simply needs to distract Mel by messing with her love life, upset Will by stealing his lucky rugby sock and make sure Mum and Dad have got other things to worry about. Well, Mum's sweating it out in the kitchen trying to write recipes for pig's trotters, Dad's taking part in a dodgy drug trial and training to be a rugby referee, the cat's stuck in the cat flap and Granny's learning to drive. It doesn't seem like too much a challenge for a champion Revenger, does it-?
