Waterstones Children's Book of the Month for April 2020Freddie Yates likes facts. Just not the one staring him in the face - that his secret plan is not,in fact,secret. Because Freddie's journey wasn't meant to involve Big Trev and the onion-eating competition or the loo-exploding pear-and-potato turnovers. And Freddie definitely didn't expect to end up,with his two best friends,on national television in a supergirl costume. But journeys never take you where you think they will. And for Freddie,that fact might just have to be enough...
The super funny,heart-warming adventure of three boys,one summer holiday,and a few miracles along the way.
