Overview:
Meet Roman Garstang, the unluckiest boy in Britain, in this riotously funny 5-book collection by Mark Lowery. Perfect for readers aged 9-12, the bundle follows Roman as jam doughnuts, chicken nuggets, itchy jumpers, caravans and spaghetti hoops spiral into chaos. Packed with slapstick humour, this set suits reluctant readers and comedy fans alike, ready to make bedtime, car journeys and school holidays funnier.
About the Books:
The Roman Garstang Disasters series follows one hapless schoolboy through five uproarious instalments of everyday catastrophe. It begins with The Jam Doughnut That Ruined My Life, where Roman's love of doughnuts sets off mishaps involving guinea pigs and a sweet shop heist. In The Chicken Nugget Ambush, Roman faces a camping trip complicated by a wannabe best friend and a nugget-only diet. Attack of the Woolly Jumper sees a royal visit thrown into disarray by Grandma's questionable knitting, forcing Roman to endure an itchy jumper he cannot escape. The Great Caravan Catastrophe packs Roman off on a family holiday that descends into farce, while Revenge of the Spaghetti Hoops brings the series to a climax as Roman survives his final week of primary school. Each book uses short chapters and a diary-style voice that keeps young readers hooked, while quietly exploring friendship, resilience and the chaos of growing up. Fans of David Walliams, Tom Gates and The World of Norm will love Roman's chaotic world.
