A fantastic read! This book follows Billy, 11, who loves jokes and dreams of being a comedian but his stammer is holding him back. Does it have to? It’s funny yet endearing and heartwarming, and deals with bullying, insecurities, friendship, kindness and empathy. @HelenRutterUK

@1drewsimpson Loved it!

@BarbaraEvaV @PrimarySchoolBC @scholasticuk I have a Barrington Stoke book out early next year and I am starting a new decisions book for next year too!

[Helen Rutter @HelenRutterUK]

@BarbaraEvaV @PrimarySchoolBC @scholasticuk It started because my first book was inspired by my son and then my publisher wanted me to write more boys. I think boys reading is on the decline and they seem to give up reading at about the age that my books are aimed at, so I really want to try and keep them engaged.

@BarbaraEvaV @PrimarySchoolBC @scholasticuk 😂

@BarbaraEvaV @PrimarySchoolBC @scholasticuk If you ever want to teach branching narratives then have a look at twine. It’s the website that helped me plot the book. Kids love it!!

[Helen Rutter @HelenRutterUK]

@BarbaraEvaV @PrimarySchoolBC @scholasticuk Yeah I think these things are so important to talk about.

@PrimarySchoolBC @HelenRutterUK @scholasticuk A2a/b This book would prompt so many discussions in pshe and when discussing well-being, mental health, growing up.The way the plot is constructed gives chn agency on the story,promoting self-reflection & ethical enquiry,thinking about choices-consequences. #PrimarySchoolBookClub

@BarbaraEvaV @PeterEBurns @PrimarySchoolBC @MrEPrimary @scholasticuk Ah that’s what every author wants to hear.❤️

[Helen Rutter @HelenRutterUK]

@BarbaraEvaV @PrimarySchoolBC @scholasticuk Yeah it was a challenge not to repeat too much in the various strands but keep each one strong enough to stand alone. It was a tricky write that’s for sure!!

[Helen Rutter @HelenRutterUK]

@BarbaraEvaV @PrimarySchoolBC @scholasticuk Ah thank you, I am so glad you enjoyed it. I really wanted the interactive element not to take too much away from building the character. #PrimarySchoolBookClub📚
