Synopsis

At the start we wondered if this was a true story, but as it moved on after a couple of chapters realised, it was definitely fiction. We think the book would great be for anyone aged perhaps 7 plus, especially if you are a fan of BP or his YouTube channel. All kids dream of becoming a YouTube star, the latest most-streamed sensation to hit the internet. For Adam this isn't only the stuff of dreams - he has one friend, no camera, and no money - hence no chance of becoming anything famous, let alone an internet sensation. As I say, we started reading it together until he decided the book was so good, he had to carry on without me, so he didn't have to wait for the rest. There are some really comical moments in the book that will make children laugh out loud but also emotional at some points. The cover is really eye-catching and I can see lots of children being drawn to this on my bookshelf. I would recommend this to children around ages 8-12 as I think they will be able to empathise most with the characters and the troubles they face. They will also be most familiar with TV presenter and YouTube personality Adam B himself. I am not usually a huge fan of 'celebrity author' books but this one certainly has a place on my bookshelf.
