Product Description
My Big Mouth
Author: Steven Camden
Format: Paperback
Recommended for ages 9+
Big lies mean big trouble for Jay and his mates. Funny and tender, My Big Mouth, CLiPPA Award-winner Steven Camden's brilliant first novel for readers of 8 to 11, is about friendship, storytelling and the price of being cool.
Brilliantly illustrated throughout by Chanté Timothy. ‘They think I’m cool.’ Dom’s face wrinkled up, ‘Who does? Who cares?’ But I did.
I cared. When Dad leaves, ten-year-old Jay has questions.
Where has he gone? Why did he go?
When no one can give Jay the answers he needs, he makes up his own stories, setting off a chain reaction that sees regular old Jay go from just another face in the crowd, to the centre of attention. But being the coolest kid in school comes at a cost.
And as things spiral out of control, can the most unlikely person help him learn the most important lesson of all?
