Barry Loser Collection - 10 Books Set

Product Information

There’s a FIFA Football World Cup coming up in case you didn’t notice (this review was written a week prior to the Russia World Cup 2018). That means there are lots of tie-in football-related books getting released. This is one of them. If you don’t believe me then look at the opening sentence: “Ever since the World Cup started, everyone in school has been comperleeterly into football.” Anyway this book by Jim Smith (whilst on the football theme, not to be confused with the other Jim Smith – the former football manager of Derby County and Portsmouth) sees Barry Loser agree that he and his mates, much to their chagrin, will partake in a big football match against Avocado Hill, “the posh little village that sits on top of a slope overlooking Mogden Town”, the place Loser (as Barry Loser is commonly referred to) lives. Perfect for readers aged 7-10 years old and fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Tom Gates, Dennis the Menace and Pamela Butchart's Wigglesbottom Primary series. Written and illustrated by Jim Smith, the series has been awarded the Royal Dahl Funny Prize for the Funniest Book for I am Still Not a Loser. With silly jokes, pranks, funny drawings and plenty of burps and farts, the Barry Loser books are perfect for fans of Captain Underpants, Tom Gates and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. My mum’s embarrassing enough just being my mum, but now she’s won The Voice of Feeko’s competition it’s even worse.’ Barry’s mum has become a bit of celebrity, and now he can’t go anywhere without seeing a poster of her eating a chocolate digestive or wiggling her bum in a pair of jeans. It’s so annoy-embarrassing, and everyone at school is making fun of him. But you can’t keep Barry down for long . . . With the help of his napkin collection, new girl Nancy Verkenwerken and a snail called Snailypoos, Barry is determined to prove once and for all that he is not a loser.

The book is funny how it puts, essentially, a football coach into the environs of a school. It is also funny how the kids all have Tamagotchi-style toys that need looking after, but that actually keep them busy as if they real-life babies. For example kids are really sleepy coming into school because these things have been crying all night needing to be looked after.My mum and dad are so busy looking after my brand new baby brother, Desmond Loser the Second, that sometimes I wonder if they even know I exist.’ The review of the eight year old boy in our house … "Can I keep it to give to a friend?" Best recommendation you can get' Observer Brand new adventures for Barry Loser in this new series of full colour graphic novels – perfect for fans of DogMan, Bunny vs Monkey and Kitty Quest
