Infos

  A gripping, page-turning mystery adventure from the bestselling author of modern classic The Goldfish Boy Cory is coming to dread having the Sunday Scaries. The kids at school are picking on him because of his cheesy daytime TV presenter father and he's struggling with lessons. Ahead of a Monday comprising a maths test and another lonely lunchbreak, Cory wishes that the weekend would never end... and when he wakes up the next day, time has reset itself to Sunday morning. This is amazing! He can re-watch his favourite football team win a big match and have pizza for dinner - and do-over some less brilliant things, plus play the lottery to win! But Cory soon gets frustrated with being stuck in this time loop - he may win the lottery but the next day never arrives when he can spend the money. He must break the curse and return to normality - but how? a wonderfully funny and imaginative twist on classic movie Groundhog Day   PRAISE FOR LISA THOMPSON BOOKS Goldfish Boy "e;an utterly captivating read"e; BookTrust "e;This empathetic debut is a middle-grade whodunit with a very special heart."e; Kirkus "e;a heart-warming tale"e; Books for Keeps The Light Jar Shortlisted for the Children's Book Awards 2019, Books for Older Readers Category "e;bags of empathy to a deftly plotted tale"e; The Guardian "e;A hugely endearing boy hero"e; The Times The Day I Was Erased "e;Lisa Thompson's light touch in delicately exploring emotional wellbeing means the story can be enjoyed by younger children and teenagers alike and can help begin important conversations about memory loss, parental discord and the meaning of friendship."e; BookTrust
