Stan is going on holiday to Italy with his (fifth) best friend Felix and a load of strangers. Stan is absolutely terrified. Luckily, his mum's given him an emergency list that includes how to survive a shark attack, and what to do if he gets kidnapped. Stan thinks that a better list would include how to cope with odd food, and what to do if he accidentally calls Felix's mum 'mum' in front of everybody. And it soon turns out Italy is full of dangers and things that can go wrong. One thing's for certain, Stan's not going to come back the same boy he left. He just hopes he comes back at all… Worst. Holiday. Ever is a story about facing fears, dealing with worries, and how it's OK to be anxious, scared, and sometimes a little bit brave...

I didn't like it because at the beginning he won't show his legs because he thinks they are too skinny, but he should just show his legs no matter what they look like.

I really enjoyed this book as an easy read. When Stan goes on holiday with his best friend (well, fifth best friend) he is very nervous. What happens if the toilets are weird, or he doesn’t like the food, or he make a really embarrassing mistake. Stan makes a list of the 30 things that went wrong on this disaster of a holiday.

I didn’t like the book because it didn’t tell you what was going on so you where left to guess.

Really funny book that helps you realise that nothing is as bad as it seems. Everything will be ok in the end.

I really enjoyed this book but mum said it’s probably a bit too old for a 7 year old. It made me giggle though.

This was a fiction book. I liked that this book taught you safety rules that you could use on holiday. It was a really fun book and I would recommend to my friends.

I think this book shows about a boy that goes on holiday with his family but everything goes wrong and it becomes the worst holiday ever.

This book is one of the most hilarious books I have ever read and I have loved reading it. The book did involve some inappropriate parts but in a funny way. This was a fiction book and my favourite person was Stan the main character. I would recommend it two anybody who loves funny books and is a little bit shy

A bit i liked was when he said about the list of things that looked fun but weren't. I also liked how instead of chapters there were reasons not to go on holiday.
