'Sam's finally got what he always wanted - he's popular!

He's owns the school's most wanted marble, kids sit with him at lunch and even Johnny Wilson has stopped calling him 'Derr-brain'.

Things are looking up at home too. When his new baby sister arrives, he'll no longer be a lonely, only child.

But when Sam becomes the teacher's pet his popularity drops faster than a tomato in a lift. Soon even his best friend Gary won't talk to him, and the new kid at home is an attention sucking, crying disaster.

Who knew that getting exactly what you wanted could be so painful?'

'New kids aren't cool. Everyone knows that. Eleven-year-old Sam is the new kid at school but he has a plan, or two, or three to make himself the most popular kid ever. What you are about to read is unforgettable (lonely losers, frog underpants, human umbrellas, bad boys ...). It's bumpy (jumping out a window is never a good idea). It's the story of a kid who wants to be more. P.S. Sam was not harmed (too much) during the telling of this story.' (Source: Publisher's blurb)
