Synopsis

"HE'S EVEN MORE HORRID THAN HENRY!" 'GROSS GEORGE' - Book 1 introduces the world to George Grubbington and his family. Right from the start there is no mistaking that George is not necessarily what might be termed, 'an acceptable human being'. He is GROSS! REALLY GROSS!!! Chris Gamble's first book see's George off to school; meeting his friends; receiving the first of that week's detentions; him getting his revenge on Mr. Walsh, the teacher that gave him the detention; and in turn, Mr. Walsh getting his revenge on George, when he makes him Class-Captain. This event involves George's hard-done-by parents insisting that he must finally take a shower! Something absolutely, totally unheard of!!! GROSS GEORGE is an hilarious story, packed filled with Chris White's brilliantly comic illustrations, and is sure to attract both Middle Grade and Reluctant Readers.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Chris Gamble always wrote short stories from a young age. His earliest memory was drawing comics which he found great fun. Now he's a family man living in a little village called Skewen, South Wales. Chris has a beautiful and very supportive wife, plus two children, three step children, one grandchild, three dogs and one hamster so home life is always hectic but he loves it. He's into sport especially football and follows Swansea City FC. His work life previously consisted of inside and outside catering but more recently he's taken on the role of a mental health support worker, something totally different but which he's enjoying tremendously. His one big passion is of course writing and creating new characters. Before he struggled to put his ideas on paper, but since lockdown he's been determined to finally fulfil his dream and passion. Chris White has made many appearances at literary festivals, in a range of weird and wonderful places, including The Edinburgh Fringe, The Edinburgh Book Festival, The Doha Book Festival and The Cheltenham Book Festival, as well as in schools, theatres and libraries around the globe, and he has had many poetry and storybooks published since his first, 'Bitey, the Veggie Vampire', in 2000 and he has inspired countless children around the world to be creative; write their own stories and poems; and pick up a pencil and start scribbling their own illustrations; and has had his poems and pictures broadcast on both television and radio. Chris's poetry performances and writing workshops have seen him visit schools in China, Russia, Vietnam, Jordan, Egypt, India, Germany and even The Congo; where he held a poetry and illustration workshop in a cave! Chris was recently Writer in Residence at the Qatar National Library.
