About this ebook
'A brilliantly funny writer’ Sunday Telegraph
If you don't wake up to yourself, Smalley,' Mr Cruickshank said, 'do you know what you're going to end up as?'
'Sheep's poop, sir,' said Mark.
Mark's father has always wanted him to be a Somebody. But unless Mark picks up at school, it looks like sheep's poop is where he's heading.
Then Mark and his friends discover they've lived before. Not only that – they were Famous and Important People!
Which is lots of fun.
At first.
A funny, fast-moving story about the ups and downs of being a Somebody.
------------------
PRAISE FOR MORRIS GLEITZMAN
‘Readers can't get enough of him.’ The Independent
‘A virtuoso demonstration of how you can make comedy out of the most unlikely subject’ Sunday Times
‘He is one of the finest examples of a writer who can make humour stem from the things that really matter in life.’ The Guardian
