“The Day My Brother Got Famous is a funny, inclusive, and utterly relatable story, perfect for reluctant readers and fans of Tom Gates or Lottie Brooks. Packed with cartoon-style illustrations, Jen Carney’s book captures the chaos, heart, and humour of family life in a way that will have kids laughing and rooting for Ferris from start to finish.”
~Emily
First Ferris Foster’s dog got famous, and then his school did! He’s ready for normal life again, that is until his new foster brother Arthur arrives:
The boys couldn’t be more different: Arthur is OBSESSED with space, whereas Ferris has more down-to-earth hobbies, like rating crisps out of 10.
Arthur’s going to spend half-term at camp, giving Ferris the time (and space) to draw the best cartoon ever and win a grand cash prize that could change everything.
On top of all that, Ferris and his mums are preparing for a nerve-wracking interview which will decide if they’ll finally become his foster-sister Keely’s forever family.
But when the Fosters drop Arthur off at Camp Space-Tacular, he has a SUPERNOVA of a meltdown and doesn’t want Ferris to leave! Can Ferris help Arthur, draw his competition-winning comic, and convince Keely’s social worker he’s the perfect big brother, or are his plans just too astronomical?!
Jen Carney is an author-illustrator who lives in Lancashire with her wife and three children. She writes contemporary laugh-out-loud middle-grade fiction that celebrates diversity and modern families.
