Chicken School

'I liked playing trains with my dad when I was seven or eight. But I'm eleven now. Where's the excitement . . . Where's my life?!'

Tim's family is the Most Boring Family In The World and he's fed up. He wants fun! Thrills! Adventure! And school's just as boring too. But one day a phantom message about Tim appears and everything changes. Who is the day-glo scribbler – and what's so special about chickens anyway?

Reviews

Strong's books are hugely popular with young children with their breezy, daft exuberance

—— Sunday Times

His books crackle with good humour and invention

—— TES

King of comedy

—— Guardian

His books are preposterously entertaining

—— Observer

Pullman's writing is spellbinding, his storytelling brilliant.

—— Scotsman

His Dark Materials wasn't just the best children's book – it was also the most interesting fictional experiment of our times.

—— Reader's Digest

An eye-widening fantasy, a scorching thriller and a thought-provoking reflection on the human condition, this is a book that can be enjoyed at many levels.

—— Guardian
