A lively, funny, contemporary tale of troublesome children, from the ever-popular Pete Johnson

Archie is a very mature child - some would say far too mature! Having grown up with his gran, he seems to have acquired some adult ways - and the kids at his new school find them unbearable. Especially Miranda - the class troublemaker. At first she absolutely can't stand Archie but then she starts to see him as a bit of a project- could she really make Archie into a Troublemaker Extraordinaire? Their unlikely friendship really gets going when Archie needs help to scare off his dad's new girlfriend...

Got call a 'bod' again today. Also, a 'stupid creep', a 'suck-up' and 'teacher's pet' . . .

Archie is twelve, but sometimes he acts like he's forty! Maybe it's because he used to live with his gran. Or maybe he's just a natural nerd.

Miranda Jones, class troublemaker, is about to find out. For she's decided that she's going to change Archie - transform him from Total Loser to Troublemaker Extraordinaire.

And Archie wants her help. For surely only troublemaking can scare off Dad's ghastly new girlfriend . . .

From the award-winning author of Rescuing Dad and How to Train Your Parents.
