Luke 'n' Conor's Hundred-to-One Club

Parents - Do you want your children to realise there is also a world away from their console? If you have to surgically remove the controller from their grasp, you'll love this book. Kids - Don't worry, you'll also love this book. It's absolutely hilarious. For some kids, playing their game console was a matter of life and death... But for ten-year-olds Luke and Conor, it was more important even than that! In fact, the topic of conversation on every boy’s — and even a fair few girl’s — lips was the latest shoot-em-up survival game called Hundred-to-One. The prospect of competing in the Hundred-to-One world championship tournament, with untold riches in prize money and international bragging rights, was simply irresistible.The only thing standing in Luke and Conor’s path to victory was the Isle of Man regional heat they’d have to win. Oh, and the fact that every kid in every school everywhere had exactly the same dream they did. So, yeah, there was that as well. But Luke and Conor wouldn’t let anything stand in their way! Well, okay, apart from homework, maybe, and the school bully, and a younger boy with a watery eye and a gammy leg... and along, of course, with their mums’ rubbish insistence that they set the game controller down and (*gasp!*) venture outside for fresh air on occasion. The lads were determined, though. And their obsession for gaming glory in a virtual world, as it happened, could also open up the possibility of new friendships and new adventure in the real world. A hilarious, feel-good book that's genuinely one for the whole family.
