A hilarious comedy from award-winning Waterstones Children's Laureate, Frank Cottrell Boyce. When George gets an out-of-date aftershave for his birthday, he isn't particularly impressed. But the aftershave seems to have developed some extra properties…and George is now irresistible to every girl around!


George is so unpopular that even his own grandad won't come to his birthday party. Instead, his grandad sends him a bottle of aftershave that expired years ago. But the aftershave seems to have developed extra properties since its sell-by date…Now George is irresistible to all the girls in school – and even the teachers can't get enough of him!

About the Author

Frank Cottrell Boyce's first book, Millions, won the Carnegie Medal and his many other awards include the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize. Frank is also a screenwriter, regularly collaborating with Michael Winterbottom and Danny Boyle, with whom he devised the 2012 London Olympics Opening Ceremony. He has written three sequels to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and counts an episode of Doctor Who that he wrote in 2014 a particular achievement, saying, "Nothing compares to the buzz of writing the words 'Interior...TARDIS!'" Frank has seven children and lives in Liverpool.
