About The Book:
'Cookie and the Most Annoying Boy in the World' marks the start of a brand-new hilarious series for young readers and introduces the world to Cookie – nine years old, obsessed with science and ready to take on the world. Or at least she thinks she is... Cookie has never quite felt as if she fits in – a quirky girl with a touch of the geek, from a Bangladeshi family – and with an uncanny ability to get herself into almost constant scrapes. Populated by a hilarious cast of characters, from annoying classmates to tedious teachers and of course her amazing friends, ‘, the Cookie books will strike a chord for anyone who’s ever been to school. With a joyful combination of anarchic humour and the thoughts we all have (but most of us remember not to actually say!), with STEM learning sneaked in, the Cookie books are essential reading for the young and the young at heart.
