The Accidental Diary of B.U.G.: Basically Famous



The second hilarious book about Billie Upton Green from star author-illustrator Jen Carney.

School just got INTERESTING. Not only is Billie's class learning how to P.E.E. in the classroom (don't ask), they now have some very important contacts in the TV world.

So as long as Janey McVey doesn't keep doing the splits for attention, and Billie's mums don't keep distracting her with a huge secret thing they seem to be planning... well watch out, because it's time for B.U.G. to make it BIG!

Praise for The Accidental Diary of B.U.G.: Basically Famous

This cheery, highly illustrated diary story, more rooted in contemporary reality than Liz Pichon's Tom Gates books, is the first in a series that's sure to find devoted fans.

Guardian

A sparky, funny new series perfect for fans of Diary of A Wimpy Kid.

Daily Mail

Jen Carney is literally a comic genius! As an adopted person myself, it was so wonderful to see an adoptee having fun, living her best life (with biscuits) and being basically awesome! I highly recommend this riotous read . . . My kids and I can't wait for more books from the talent and wonder that is Jen Carney!

Maisie Chan, author of Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths

Ideal for fans of Tom Gates, or Pamela Butchart's books . . . a wonderful new series.

The Week Junior

Fun, funny, inclusive and warm-hearted, these books are pure, cheery joy
