A hilarious comedy from award-winning Waterstones Children’s Laureate, Frank Cottrell Boyce. When George gets an out-of-date aftershave for his birthday, he isn’t particularly impressed. But the aftershave seems to have developed some extra properties…and George is now irresistible to every girl around!

George is so unpopular that even his own grandad won’t come to his birthday party. Instead, his grandad sends him a bottle of aftershave that expired years ago. But the aftershave seems to have developed extra properties since its sell-by date…Now George is irresistible to all the girls in school – and even the teachers can’t get enough of him!

The fact that the after shave actually made him popular

My favourite part of the book was when George was telling us not to be a loser when he was. My favourite character was Huge Arnold because he kept on saying “Grrrr”. I loved this book

Daniella was the best character because she was the only girl that liked him when he was not wearing the aftershave

When I read this book I could tell it was for little kids with the big words and what the story is based on.I would recommend this book but to younger children.My favourite character is George because the book is about him and different to others.

It is a really nice book. As tittle suggests how the a granddad's present shaving foam makes the boy so popular and desirable in school. How there can be someone who may like you for who you are. It was a fiction. My favorite character is George for bringing the fun in the story. I will recommend to children who like books with Crazy moments.
