A classic children’s story from one of our best-loved authors, former Children’s Laureate Anne Fine. The Modern Classics edition features new illustrations and bonus material. Bill Simpson wakes up to find he’s a girl, and worse, his mother makes him wear a frilly pink dress to school. How on earth is he going to survive a whole day like this? Everything just seems to be different for girls … Perfect for readers aged 7 years and up and fans of The Boy in the Dress by David Walliams. Anne Fine’s fun school stories have been delighting children for more than 20 years, winning her awards such as the Smarties Book Award and Carnegie Medal along the way.

It is about a boy who is actually a girl. It was about bill wearing her new frock on a school day. I would recommend this for very small children

It was really funny,I loved the part where Bill drops a key,some ink pots,some tennis balls and a pile of yellow medical forms in alphabetical order because his frock had no pockets and he had 5o carry everything in his hands.

It is a funny fiction book. The bit that was very unexpected was when Bill Simpson woke up and found out that he was a girl. The bit that I did not like when Bill was fighting with Rohan about who should have the comic.

I love this book and I would recommend it to primary school children who have a sense of humour. It is so funny and quirky. This is a great story about a boy who wakes up one day to find that everyone thinks he is a girl and has to go to school wearing a pink dress!! So hilarious. I will like you to have a read as well.

This book is ok. It wasn’t the easiest read and I didn’t understand why Bill had to wear the frock.

It was funny but I would have liked to know more about the characters. My favourite bit was when Bill wakes up and finds out that he is a girl.

It was really funny!

When Bill woke up, he realised that he was a girl! Mum made him put on a frilly, new frock so girls at school took him as very weird. An unusual adventure is about to begin! My opinion is that the book is interesting.

This book is a really funny one. It's about a boy who turns into a girl, and how people treat boys and girls differently. You should read this book, its brilliant!
