    About this ebook

    Perfect for fans of Pamela Butchart and David Baddiel's Birthday Boy – a hilarious tale of wish fulfilment gone wrong that every child will relate to

    Tom can't wait for his LUCKY BIRTHDAY. It's an EPIC family tradition and he's dreamed up an UNFORGETTABLE party!

    Only, after several disasters involving a flattened Chihuahua and a curse from the tooth fairy, it's been CANCELLED.

    But Tom won't give up. With the help of his friends (and a pig painted like a zebra), Tom decides to throw himself the party he deserves.

    What could possibly go wrong?
