Can you imagine a world with no screens? Don’t miss the hilarious new ‘what-if’ adventure from bestselling author, comedian, and presenter Danny Wallace, with illustrations throughout from Gemma Correll.

When ten-year-old Stella wakes up to discover a world full of BLANK screens, her family, town, and in fact the whole world seems to have been thrown into chaos. And what about poor Grandma who is stranded at the other end of the country? Cue a rollicking madcap road trip, full of driving disasters and family fallouts, as they set off on a rescue mission. And along the way Stella and her family discover that being away from screens might not be the WORST THING EVER, and even though they might not be able to rely on technology anymore, they can rely on each other instead. From the author of highly acclaimed adult bestsellers YES MAN, JOIN ME and the eagerly anticipated SOMEBODY TOLD ME.

It was really funny. I laughed a lot. It’s about where the screens go blank and they go on an adventure to get to their grandma cos they can’t zoom call her. I would recommend it to anyone who likes to laugh.

It was quite funny but I don't really like that they didn't put enough information about why the screens went blank.

This was a good book but it was an eensy tweensy boring. It wasn’t a real page turner. Still a good book though. I would recommend this to kids that like dog man, bunny vs monkey and investigators.

I’m really like this book because it’s funny and l like that the the author is showing kids empathy about their normal routine : watching funny videos of cats in You Tube and playing on Nintendos ,Minecraft and Roblox’s and at the same time feeling empathy for people who experienced a life without much tech and miss it.And also it’s really really funny.

This is an adventurous story and I liked that the main characters dad was covered in mud and cow poo! I think it could have been more exciting.

I wasn’t a fan, but anybody who likes stories that involve families going on adventures around the country for a completely useless reason should read this book.
