I’m not embarrassed to say that I love Andy Flegg! We are allowed to read his diary, which he has to write for 130 days if he wants an X-Box, because his horrible ex-teacher told his parents he’s a reluctant writer. When life gets a little crazy he talks to a mutant from the 23rd century he has named Pon4, and he doesn’t even feel weird about it. He’s very funny, even when his parents are causing him a lot of grief and his dog dies. And he’s actually pretty smart and a good writer, even though he doesn’t think so.

Read this book and I think you will love Andy Flegg too – well maybe not love him ‘cos maybe that’s a bit weird, but think that he’s an okay kind of guy and actually very deserving of an X-Box and a visit from Pon4!
