About this listen

 From the Yoto Carnegie Medal shortlisted author of Steady For This comes a hilarious and heartwarming new teen comedy!

ANTON AND HIS FRIENDS ARE THE KINGS OF YEAR 9.

They're used to ruling the school and Anton wears the crown. The other kids run away when he's about but that's the way he wants it - he's got a reputation to live up to after all.

So when he gets into serious trouble at school, he doesn't really care, but his mum most definitely does. She decides it's time for Anton to make some new friends and join the Happy Campers, a local activity group. Anton would quite literally rather do anything else, especially when he finds out Matthew, the biggest loser in school, is also a member.

But after Matthew unexpectedly saves Anton's life, Anton figures maybe this kid is worth a shot. Teaching him some game is the least Anton can do to repay the debt.

As the boys strike up an unlikely friendship, Anton finds himself questioning everything he thought was important. Does he want ruling the school to be his crowning glory or should he set his sights on better things?

Perfect for teen listeners of Alex Wheatle, Jason Reynolds and Patrice Lawrence.©2024 Nathanael Lessore (P)2024 Bonnier Books UK Growing Up & Facts of Life Humorous Fiction Literature & Fiction Funny Witty Feel-Good Heartfelt

Love it! Touching. Hilarious. Clever.
Never disappoints. Listening to it with my 14 year old. We both love it. We will have to listen again soon as we will miss the characters!

I listened to this as a school reading group have chosen it for their choice for winning The Carnegie Medal. As someone much older than the age group the book is aimed at the use of slang and the awful attitude to girls really grated.

Stick with it, Anton is a good kid who realises what is important in life. Strong female characters add to the mix, making this a funny novel (laugh out loud funny) with a huge important message. This should be compulsory reading/ listening for all students in Year 7, their parents, grandparents and teachers.
