Description
The ultimate boy-friendly read! A brand-new diary-format series documenting the howl-somely funny injustices of Arthur Guppy whose best intentions always lead to the detention room.
Arthur Guppy is in detention. The school axolotls have been kidnapped and Arthur is the prime suspect. But how did Arthur's best friend, Carlos Chickens, and an unusual assortment of their classmates end up in there with him? Arthur is about to tell you… and you may also learn:
WHY you shouldn't glue nits to your face
HOW to do a standing up wee without pulling your trousers down
And MUCH more!
Jam-packed with hysterics-inducing black and white illustrations.
