My name is JOHN SMITH. Dad says with a name like John Smith no one
will EVER make fun of you. Mum says I'm 'one in a MILLION'. But
just because I got what my sister calls 'the most BORING name in
the history of names..,.' do not judge a book by its cover. My life
is ANYTHING but boring!
But here's this thing you should know: I have this massive, massive,
MASSIVE secret. I can travel into other worlds and go on amazing
adventures. Granddad was an adventurer too. It's this big thing
we share.
Granddad says we're members of something called the John Smith's
are NOT boring Club. He says you don't have to have a fancy name
to have a big adventure - just because you sound like a NOBODY you
might be a SOMEBODY. Granddad says if you meet somebody called
John Smith, he might have this BIG secret too.
I joined the John Smith's are NOT boring Club on my last birthday,
and since then I've been on all kinds of incredible escapades.
So now you know.
