What to expect

Bloomsbury presents The Worst Class in the World by Joanna Nadin, read by Sam Newton.

‘Deliciously silly, with hilarious catchphrases… a great cheer-up book’ The Guardian

‘HILARIOUS! Proper laughs!’ Pamela Butchart
______________________________

A laugh-out-loud young fiction series from bestselling author Joanna Nadin, perfect for fans of Horrid Henry.

According to head teacher Mrs Bottomley-Blunt, 4B is the WORST CLASS IN THE WORLD. She says school is not about footling or fiddle-faddling or FUN. It is about LEARNING and it is high time 4B tried harder to EXCEL at it.

But Stanley and Manjit didn’t LITERALLY mean to make their whole class sick with homemade biscuits. And they definitely didn’t LITERALLY mean for Manjit’s dog Killer to eat their teacher’s shoes or for Bruce Bingley’s rat to escape. These things just happened even though they had a FOOLPROOF plan.

You see, 4B may be the WORST CLASS IN THE WORLD. But you wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

Featuring two hilarious madcap adventures in one book, these books are just right for children ready for their first chapter books.

4B may be the WORST CLASS IN THE WORLD but this is the BEST new funny book I've read this year. It is LITERALLY amazing. So amazing that I swallowed the book in one big gulp ... It's fast-paced, fun, and packed full of high jinks and the most hilarious artwork EVER. NEXT BOOK, PLEASE

LITERALLY, one of the most hilarious books I have read in a long time. […]This engaging, laugh-out-loud story is all wonderfully enhanced, from start to finish, by fabulous illustrations by Rikin Parekh, that bring the characters personalities' completely to life. Joyous and silly, this is perfect for those looking for a chapter book to read as a newly independent reader and would be utterly charming as a book to read with a whole class to bring laughter to storytime
