The Blockbusters!
Nominated for the Carnegie Medal for Writing Year 6 goes to Hollywood! Head to Tinseltown in this hilarious and heart-warming adventure by the UK Children's Laureate 2024-2026 and bestselling, award-winner Frank Cottrell-Boyce. The Blockbusters! is fabulously illustrated in black and white throughout by Steven Lenton. When new boy Rafa and his friends accidentally stray onto the set of a Hollywood blockbuster, the last thing they expect is to become part of the action. Rafa’s likeness to the famous movie star, BB, gives him VIP access all areas, including the banquet of catering doughnuts! But Rafa isn’t the only one having an adventure. His big brother, Cillian, is missing. He sent Rafa a clue to his location, but he can’t really be in actual Hollywood, can he? It’s up to Rafa to keep acting the part of a movie star, if he is to find his brother – and home. Praise for Frank Cottrell-Boyce: 'Full of heart and emotion that might just bring a tear to your eye' - Tom Fletcher on
