WINNER OF THE WATERSTONES CHILDREN'S BOOK PRIZE FOR OLDER READERS 2025 WINNER OF THE SHADOWERS' CHOICE CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR WRITING 2025 WINNER OF THE JHALAK CHILDREN'S & YOUNG ADULT PRIZE 2025 SHORTLISTED FOR AMAZON BOOK OF THE YEAR
HIS FRIENDS ARE THE KINGS OF YEAR 9. They're used to ruling the school and Anton wears the crown. The other kids run away when he's about but that's the way he wants it - he's got a reputation to live up to after all.
So when he gets into serious trouble at school, he doesn't really care, but his mum most definitely does. She decides it's time for Anton to make some new friends and join the Happy Campers, a local activity group. Anton would quite literally rather do anything else, especially when he finds out Matthew, the biggest loser in school, is also a member.
