What a brilliant book this is! It's all too easy for my son to choose to only read school books but this grabbed his attention from the very start and he's barely put it down since. The comic book format really appeals meaning he can read it quickly and he keeps telling me he really wants to know what happens next!
It really appeals to the gaming and YouTube culture that kids love these days, I wasn't aware that Ali-A was a YouTuber but my son soon filled me in.
I often avoid books like this as a bit gimmicky but this is genuinely brilliant and not only my son but his best friend and cousin have all pored over it. It's brilliant. It's also a gorgeous book with high quality illustrations and a real pleasure to pick up, definitely provides a lesson in the pleasure a book can bring for tween readers.
