Why read it?

1 author picked Head Kid as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book made me first want to write for 7 to 11-year-olds! It is really easy to get into and the characters are fun, believable, and have heart. Baddiel’s books are all set in the real world of school and normal life but with a fantastical twist.

From Emily's list on reluctant readers aged 7-11.
