A hilarious comedy from award-winning Frank Cottrell Boyce. 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! Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 8+

It was good

I gave it 5 stars because I liked how the pictures were drawn, the chapters and book were a good length (not too short and not too long, just perfect), and it was always interesting and fun. I liked when George became popular, because all the girls were cheering for him. But they weren’t nice when he was not popular which was not nice. I would tell a friend if they were like these mean girls that no matter who is popular or not or no matter how they look, you should still respect them and be nice, kind of like Daniella, although she was a bit quiet.

This book was super easy to read. But it didn’t have a best storyline. I would recommend it to 8 to 12 year olds.

It was fiction and I like george the best because before he was a loser but now he is popular. The front cover interested me because George was hold a bottle of old aftershave his parents had a long,long time ago.I would recommend it to someone else.

It was a very good and funny book . I think other people should read it because some people think this is a boy book but there is no such thing as boy books and girl books.

I think this book is for younger readers because it's got quit a big font so it wasn't really for me!
