"Toby, if you get twenty wickets and ten tries before the end of the year, Mum and I'll buy you a new GameBox V3β¦"
Can you believe it? One minute I'm in trouble for double-bouncing my sister and the next Dad is telling me I've got the new GameBox V3! And it's not even Christmas. Shot!
Toby thinks this will be easyβafter all, he gets Player of the Day all the time. But he hasn't reckoned on Malcolm McGarvy. McGarvy is one of the biggest kids in the school and he's got a huge scar which he got in a shark attackβhe wears one of the teeth around his neck.
You know McGarvy is near because you get goosebumps up your arms. And he's going to make sure Toby doesn't get that GameBox V3β¦
About the Author
Justin Christopher spent 15 years as a music radio host and is now a full-time author and TV producer. He has traveled all over the world, including East and West Africa, the U.S and Canada, India, and a whole bunch of countries in Europe.
When Justin became the dad of two wonderful daughters he reverted to his true age of ten. It was obvious that he should write for this age so he dreamt up a number of middle-grade novels, namely Stowaway Daze, Freakout Island, The Underers, and My Best Worst Year.
Justin's books are often selected as top teacher's picks as they encourage themes of friendship, family, bad jokes, and journeys to intriguing places. Publishers Weekly called The Underers an endearing read. My Best Worst Year won a notable book award, which came as a complete surprise to Justin as he was just writing about the Cool Guys Club that he started at school. And Freakout Island has been enjoyed by nose-pickers from all around the world!
Justin loves writing chapter books and funny books for 9- 12-year-olds, but mostly he enjoys hearing from his readersβlike you. So please don't be shy to get in touch with him via his website: JustinChristopherAuthor.com.
