Stick Boy

Book Synopsis

It’s tough fitting in when you’re born to stick out!
From the moment Stick Boy and his family move to Little Town, there is way more to worry about than being the new kid. There’s a mysterious plot involving Baron Ben’s new Mega Mall, pop star Jonny Vidwire and the highly suspicious HomeBots that are infiltrating every home in town. Can Stick Boy and his friends uncover the evil plan behind it all before it’s too late?

Our Review Panel says...

This is very much a story of someone who is obviously rather different finding it hard to fit in. The drawings, which are cartoon-like, emphasise this difference and the style is almost like a comic, with helpful and humorous labels to identify everyone and what is going on. The plot with the smart gadgets and devices is also not quite as far-fetched as might first be thought and it makes it quite topical. Technically this is not a difficult read, but it brings up quite a lot of topics for discussion and I can see it being a popular choice for many readers looking for something a bit different. It is a very original idea and it seemed to leave with the possibility of a sequel; I hope so.
