Love that JamieOliver, who suffered dyslexia, makes a main character dyslexic, describing the struggle in terms child readers would understand.  Also love that he doesn’t go completely overboard with the fart jokes for another character. A fun story.

Received a proof of this from James Bennett. Many thanks. Was cynical about ANOTHER famous person writing for kids. BUT It flows nicely, has a great tweeny tone and includes a really important environmental message. Fabulous cooking tips, also. I can’t wait to make porridge Grandad’s way!
