More About Boy

MORE ABOUT BOYcontains a wealth of new photos, facts and writings about Roald Dahl and his childhood, together with the original text and illustrations from his much-loved memoir.

As a boy, all sorts of unusual things happened to Roald Dahl.

There was the time he and four school friends got their revenge on beastly Mrs Prachett in her sweet shop.

There are stories of holidays in fishing boats, African adventures and the days of tasting chocolate for Cadbury's.

You'll hear tales of horrible school bullies and the car accident when Roald's nose was nearly sliced clean off . . Now you can discover even more about Roald Dahl's childhood, including some secrets he left out. Some are painful, some are funny, but all of them are TRUE.

Listen to Roald Dahl audiobooks read by some very famous voices, including Kate Winslet, David Walliams and Steven Fry - plus there are added squelchy soundeffects from Pinewood Studios!

Look out for new Roald Dahl apps in the App store and Google Play- including the disgusting TWIT OR MISS! and HOUSE OF TWITS inspired by the revolting Twits.

Reviews

Gourlay spins slender threads of wishes and prayers, magic and miracles, desires and redemption
and weaves together an impressively sweet and rich tale

—— Kirkus

I enjoyed Candy Gourlay's Tall Story

—— Observer

This is a story that is funny, sad and magical. I thought the author chose a good subject to write about because she wrote about very real emotions. She also added a bit of imagination which made it very interesting. The main characters tell the story in alternate chapters. I would recommend this book - pure brilliant!

—— Teen Titles

It's an inspiring story remininding us just how impressive a character Obama is

—— Bournemouth Daily Echo

Jacqueline Wilson writes with great skill and humour about the reasons and results of bullying . . . Very readable . . .Tanya and Mandy will remain in readers' minds long after they close the book

—— Junior Bookshelf

Mandy's multiple dilemmas are sympathetically unravelled in this super story of true friendship

—— Carousel

Treading a sensitive, complex path among ethical, social and family issues, and dealing with bullying, illiteracy and friendship, this is a skilfully judged story that provokes lots of discussion

—— Guardian
