The Underdog

My name’s Cameron Wolfe. I have a little bit of sense. I don’t have much sense. My older brother Ruben gets me into plenty of trouble. I get Rube into as much trouble as he gets me into. I have a family, yes, that doesn’t really function without tomato sauce. That’s me.

Cameron and Ruben Wolfe are brothers. They spend most of their time throwing one-handed boxing matches (they only have the one pair of gloves) and plotting to rob the local dentists. But what Cameron really wants is to meet a girl – a real girl, not like the ones in the lingerie magazines. But who could ever love an underdog like Cameron Wolfe?

Reviews

This book will stain you … It’s just as transformative as Just One Day.

—— Good Books and Wine

An alluring story that pushes beyond the realm of star-crossed romance.

—— Publishers Weekly

As satisfying as both of these books are, readers are going to wish for a third.

—— Booklist

The most hotly anticipated children's book of the year is here - Diary of a Wimpy Kid

—— The Big Issue

Delightfully simple but visually impish

—— Literary Review

Anthony Browne is a sublime master of the visual pun

—— Independent on Sunday

The Magritte of the pre-schoolers, Browne's illustrations are among the most distinctive and surreal of any children's artist. A beautiful tribute to a very special dad in a dressing gown

—— The Scotsman

A celebration of all things "dad" from the quirky to the moving

—— Aberdeen Evening Express

It's humorous and charming. Dads and kids alike will love it

—— Woman’s Own
