Some time ago Brian went to school just like any other child. He would get up in the morning usually with great difficulty. He enjoyed being at school when he was there and he enjoyed not being at school when he wasn't there. Most of us go through school life from primary to secondary without causing a stir or causing others to remember us for anything more than taking part in a play or doing well in a sport or just being ourselves. Brian on the other hand was remembered by every teacher who had ever taught him. He was even remembered by teachers who have never ever met him such was his reputation. Don’t get me wrong, he wasn't always in trouble, doing things he shouldn't do. It was just that when strange things happened, Brian was always there. When strange things didn’t happen, Brian was never there. Strange events and Brian seemed to go together. This collection of extraordinary and funny stories depicts events in Brian’s life when he was at Primary School and can be read in any order. I hope your time at Primary School is, or was, a little calmer!

The Prime Minister of the country decides that the only way to get re-elected is to lower the voting age to 10 years of age with the idea that children will vote for him. However, he fails to consider that children have more intelligence than to be taken in with bribes so things don’t exactly go to plan. He also does not reckon on having to deal with Kevin, a 10 year old boy and his friend Charlie who set up their own Party for Children. In the lead up to the General Election Kevin manages to survive a variety of experiences both funny and embarrassing. If you are a child you too could vote for the Children’s Party!

Born in Santa Clara, California; spent childhood playing sports and being with nature. I always enjoyed reading and writing. But it wasn't until later in life that I really started writing when I was given a pot bellied pig. I named him Harly. I decided to write a nonfictional story based on the life of Harly. To tell children and adults the positive attributes that a pig or animal alike can bring to ones heart. I also have written four fictional stories all based on Harly through my imaginary insight for you to love and enjoy.

Excerpt from Louis Sinclair; Or the Silver Prize Medals: The Story of a Boy Who Escaped the Hands of a Real EnchanterI think you had better not punch my ribs again, Master Pete, retorted Louis Sinclair, rising to a sitting posture, and rubbing his side.I didn't mean to hurt you, Louis, said Peter; but tell me if you don't think it an outrage for school to begin on such a glo rions morning as this?I think school is a bore, anyhow, replied Louis. I wish school-teachers, school-books, and schoolhouses were all at the Cannibal Islands, then we should have holidays all the year round. In that case I should be as happy as a cricket.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
