The Fincredible Diary of Fin Specter
A boy, a book and a bucket of trouble . Not only does he play the guitar, but he's interested in Claudia Ronson - the most beautiful girl at school. Until he discovers that the hero gets to kiss the girl at the end - mostly likely to be Claudia - and that Cliff has put himself up for the part!
"When Jamie's gran gives him a battered old teapot he reckons she's gone doolally! But then he cleans it, and out pops Balthazar Najar, a banished genie! Balthazar grants three wishes, but for the last one, Jamie accidentally wishes he was a genie. He's whisked off to genie school where an angry headmaster, a suspiciously friendly snake and deadly magic carpet races are the least of his worries!"
It's a hot summer and Charlie creates a tasty fizzy drink for the dinosaurs to enjoy and to keep them cool. To start with everyone finds it quite amusing, but the burping continues, even when the dinosaurs stop drinking the pop. No one can get any sleep and there's a horrible smelly fog lingering over Sabreton!
