subtlesraf's review against another edition
5.0
One of my absolute favourite books by Paul Jennings. He captures both the miseries and the joys of being a child in full colour imaginative stories, with hateful bullies, nasty teachers, awesome parents and amazing characters. His stories are more a part of me than most of my "family" and will always stay with me.
Crazy, brilliant and will probably not make sense to a lot of people, but they are some of the only stories that make sense to me.
"I wish I was an ant so that I could crawl down a hole and never be seen again. But I am not an ant so I go into the toilets instead. I sit down in a cubicle where no one can see me. I stay there all lunch time. The minutes drag by. No one knows where I am. No one cares. Finally the bell rings and I am saved. I can go into class." - Wake Up To Yourself

I loved this series when I was a kid! Reading this book again as an adult was fun. Surprisingly I remembered a lot of the stories, although I probably read them about 13 years ago. I'll definitely look for the other books in this series.

the story about cod-liver-apple tree which grew inside the boy traumatised me a lil, but it’s ok
