Product Description

Product Description

Nothing is ever straightforward when Lee is around…not even a summer holiday in Spain.

It ought to be a case of lazing by the pool, but Lee is soon spying on dodgy men in shiny suits and sunglasses, battling with a family that seems determined to ruin everyone’s holiday and haranguing horrendous holiday reps.

With so much going on, how will Lee ever get a tan?

About the Author

Keith Charters has lived all over the UK, and now lives near Glasgow. He studied at the University of Strathclyde and should have gained a first class honours degree, but missed out by half a percent, mainly because he was playing snooker when he should have been studying. (Let this be a lesson to all.) After graduating, Keith worked in various business management roles, ending up in London, where he headed up part of a big, rather strange, financial company in which staff got paid for shouting at their customers...and at each other. It was weird. At this point Keith started writing a lot. An awful lot. Soon writing was taking over his life. He decided that he wanted to play with words for the rest of his life, so he took a deep breath, gave up his proper job and began writing full-time. Lee and the Consul Mutantswas the first fruit of his labours. It took the no.1 spot in The Herald s Children s Bestsellers chart during 2006, with Lee Goes For Gold no.4 at the same time. Keith never looked back. Out came Lee s Holiday Showdown followed by Lee on the Dark Side of the Moon. However, you can read the Lee novels in any order you like. As well as writing, Keith now visits over 100 schools, libraries and book festivals each year and is renowned for his hilarious and energetic events.

If Harry Potter wasn't silly enough for you -- this is! 29 Nov 2007
By S. A. Oates - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is the story of Lee, who is not very bright, very funny, and one of the best reads for children I have found in years. Keith Charters has the unusual ability to get inside the absurd world of a child, with hysterical misunderstandings and bizarre consequences, without ever being condescending or false. The result are stories that show the silliness of the adult's world through the eyes of child -- and for once an endearing kid who tends to leap to conclusions (like some you might have in your own house ... ) A fresh, new book that would make a good gift for kids, both your own and the inevitable 10-year-old nephew that is hard to buy for. My girls (7 and 10) both liked Lee a lot, but also would equal appeal to boys (like the Harry Potter books, which have a male central character but universal appeal because it's talking about the universe of childhood in general). And just let me say a huge relief to find stories that are pony-free and fairy-free. I would say this is for about six to about 12, although I find Lee's antics hysterical (I'm 44) but arguably I'm a bit childish. But I guarantee you'll be laughing (in recognition perhaps ... ) by the end of the first chapter. The writer is from Scotland, like JK Rowling, and you begin to wonder why there is so much good children's lit from there ... maybe something in the water, eh?
