Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A laugh-out-loud caper of an adventure with family and friendship at its heart from Jen Carney, the author and illustrator of the B.U.G series.

A few things you should know about Ferris Foster:

  • He's the cartooning genius behind ASTOUNDOG (star of The Hoot, available exclusively in his school playground).
  • His best friend is his actual dog, Aldo, who is anything but astounding.
  • He's had 13 foster brothers and 8 foster sisters and now he's about to meet his new foster sister, Tia, for the first time.
  • His NEMESIS is his totally annoying neighbour, Destiny Dean!

When Destiny boasts about videos of her dog, Princess Foo-Foo, going viral, Ferris foolishly claims that Aldo can easily become a BIGGER internet star.

There's just one problem: Aldo has about as much talent as a teaspoon.

Then Ferris and Tia accidentally film Aldo doing what looks like an amazing trick... Will Aldo finally live up to the name of his comic book alter-ego and wow the world with his skills, or is this about to be the biggest EPIC FAIL ever?

Perfect for fans of Danny Wallace, Liz Pichon, and Katie Kirby - buckle up, you're in for a dog-tastic adventure, packed with comic strips and cartoons!

The Day My Dog Got Famous is a must-read for young readers who love humour and heartwarming tales.
