Moone Boy: The Blunder Years
Chris O'Dowd (Author), Nick Vincent Murphy (Author)
Successful film and TV star, Chris O’ Dowd, collaborates with friend and screenwriter Nick Vincent Murphy in Moone Boy: The Blunder Years, the first in this hilarious, illustrated series.
Martin Moone is eleven and completely fed up with being the only boy in a family of girls. He’s desperate for a decent wingman to help him navigate his idiotic life. So when best mate Padraic suggests Martin get an imaginary friend – or ‘IF’ for short – he decides to give it a go.
His first attempt is Loopy Lou, a hyperactive goofball who loves writing rubbish rap songs. But Martin soon gets fed up with Lou’s loopiness and decides to trade in his IF for someone a little less wacky. Enter Sean ‘Caution’ Murphy, an imaginary office clerk in a bad suit with a passion for laziness and a head full of dodgy jokes. Sean is full of tips and tricks to guide Martin through the perils of the playground, from dealing with his sisters’ pranks to beating the bullying Bonner boys. But getting rid of Lou is not that easy, and having TWO imaginary friends is a recipe for trouble!

My favourite character was Declan Mannion ,because he has the same personality as someone I know. The pictures are hilarious, even when the part is sad. I like the bit when Sean ''Caution'' Murphy is finally known as an imaginary friend. I've got a few questions for you; First, what happened to Declan Mannion? Second, what inspired you to write this book? Third and lastly, When are you going to write a new book?

Moone Boy is a funny book which is worth reading. It is about a boy called Martin who needs a wingman in a family full of girls. When his best friend suggests getting an imaginary friend to help him he thinks it will be a great idea, but he soon finds out that it won't be as easy as it seems...
