This is the story of how hypnosis saved a boy. Reggie Houser has ADHD and struggles to make friends at school, plus his mum and teachers seem constantly weary about his erratic, high-energy ways. But when he sees a hypnotist perform on stage at the holiday park he visits, Reggie becomes obsessed with learning the skills of mind control – and he discovers he has an incredible talent for it!

First of all he hypnotises the dog to think he’s a frog, then makes his headmaster cluck like a chicken in assembly in front of the whole school But then a group of mean kids supposedly take him under their wing and make him use his hypnosis talents for bad: stealing a chocolate bar from a shop and escalating to a bigger theft.

Reggie must decide to use his skills for good only and come to trust his own brain to make decisions. Packed with brilliant jokes and one-liners to make kids roar with laughter A book to encourage empathy and kindness in young readers Perfect for fans of Jacqueline Wilson, Lisa Thompson and Jenny Pearson.   Praise for The Boy Who Made Everyone Laugh: ‘Amazing’ Noel Fielding ‘This incredible debut tugs at your heartstrings and makes you laugh out loud in equal measure.
