Book Synopsis

It was clear from an early age that Dexter Procter was different.

He started speaking at four seconds old. By the age of three, he had 87 A-levels, from Afrikaans to Zoology.

And by ten, he was working as a paediatrician at Lilydale General Hospital.

Despite a loving but annoying family and a couple of good friends (Rupi and Otto), Dexter’s always struggled to fit in. Add to this a mortal enemy (Dr Drake) and a major problem at his old school (all the teachers struck down with awful diarrhoea) – will Dexter be able to save his job, save the school and find his place in the world? (Spoiler alert: yes!)

A laugh-out-loud new fiction series about the world’s youngest doctor from the record-breaking Adam Kay and Henry Paker.

Our Review Panel says...

What a treat this is for our younger but curious readers, and especially those who like funny books.

From the former doctor and bestselling author of This is Going to Hurt comes a new side-splitting series about the world’s youngest doctor, Dexter Proctor. He is different. He is ten years old. He has friends but he is so bright and gifted. And by the age of ten, he is working as a paediatrician at Lilydale General Hospital!

But Dexter has a mortal enemy (Dr Drake) and a major problem – all the teachers are struck down with dreadful diarrhoea! Dexter must step up to the challenge and try to save the teachers and the school.

This hilarious new series about the world’s youngest doctor from the record-breaking Adam Kay and Henry Paker will keep our children informed, engaged and laughing out loud.
