The only thing that these five books have in common is that they're meant to be funny. No messages, no serious stuff - just funny. But then it would have been difficult to make them anything else when they're about madcap subjects likw a boy managing his dad's football team by remote control, a school where the teachers are disappearing, a scorpion that can predict the future, a stolen set of false teeth and an alien who invades a school with his computerised lunch-box!
