IT’S HERE AT LAST!
Pete Johnson’s most eagerly awaited title ever, ‘HOW TO GET FAMOUS,’ has finally hit the bookshops. A perceptive and hilarious look at fame through the eyes of two very different characters: Tobey and Georgia.
The book has already earned praise from leading children’s book reviewer, Jake Hope. He writes: “I have very much enjoyed reading ‘How to Get Famous.’ The means by which Pete Johnson explores how our actions affect and influence others, is achieved with a subtlety that belies the more gregarious elements of Tobey and Georgia’s fight to find Fame.”
It has also been chosen as Book of the month in 4Girlz Magazine Book club.
Pete launched ‘HOW TO GET FAMOUS’ at a conference recently, held at Girton College, Cambridge, which was supported by the Norfolk Children’s Book Centre. Future ‘HOW TO GET FAMOUS’ events include a visit to Steyning Festival, with leading bookshop, Bowers, on Wednesday 4th June. Week beginning 9th June there are special events in Sheffield with another of Pete’s favourite bookshops, Rhyme and Reason, followed by a visit to Durham Libraries.
Pete also continues to support The National Year of Reading with events in June and July at Felixstowe, Peterborough, The City of London Academy, Southwark and St Olave’s Grammar School, Orpington.
