Charlie Changes Into a Chicken

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

The first in a sidesplitting new series about a boy who keeps changing into animals. Perfect for fans of David Walliams and Kid Normal.

Charlie Changes Into a Chicken has an incredible secret... He can change into animals. All sorts of animals, in fact—a flea, a pigeon, even a rhino.

Trouble is, it only happens when he gets worried, and right now, Charlie has quite a lot to worry about:

  • His brother (who's in hospital)
  • His parents (who are panicking)
  • And the school bully (who has Charlie in his sights)

With the help of his three best friends, Charlie needs to find a way to deal with his crazy new power—and fast.
