Packed with jokes, of both the sly and custard pie varieties, this book introduces us to a typical yet extraordinary ten-year-old boy, with beautifully paced narration and crackling, genuine dialogue.
The book is bang up-to-date with its cultural and technological references, but at the same time there is something wonderfully traditional about the story: a young boy and his friends fighting against the mysteries of the adult world.
Lee is for real. He's the child I like to think still lives inside of me. Whether he's attempting to save the world from aliens or trying to track down a bacon sandwich, Lee chases his goals with the same energy and great humour that makes you cheer him on.
And hey, at the end of it all, it's just very, very funny.
