Former bestmates Kit and Hamza must deliver a cooked turkey across town, but can they tolerate one another for that long?
“Ideal for readers aged 11+ with a reading age of 7, this is an accessible real world friendship drama by bestselling author Simon James Green. Funny books for this age group are often hard to come by, so this one is particularly welcome!”
~Emily
Can a TURKEY bring best friends Hamza and Kit back together?
Kit is furious following a betrayal by his oldest friend, Hamza –over a girl?! He wants nothing to do with him until the boys are offered a lot of money to do a job for one of their neighbours.
The job is to deliver a turkey to an address across London before it gets cold. Weird but pretty simple, right? But that’s before it turns into a hilarious, hysterical race against time, the police, the bomb squad and a scary street gang.
Can Kit and Hamza make it in time, and will they ever speak to each other again if they do?
