Grandma has come to stay for the royal visit by Princess Lucy to launch her new badger charity, 'Badges for Badgers'. Which would be fine, if she hadn't knitted Roman the crummiest jumper (AKA crumper) on earth that he's forced to wear to school.

His whole class is in a fundraising frenzy, led by fame-crazy Rosie Taylor, who is convinced that organising a charity fashion show is bound to win her favour with the princess. In a bid of fierce cruelty, she has sponsored Roman to wear his crumper all week, even after Gamble tries to flush it down the toilet.

When the jumper causes a swan attack and a biker to swerve off the road, can Roman keep his whole life from unravelling?

Attack of the Woolly Jumper is a new side-splitting story in the Roman Garstang Disaster series.

About the Author

Mark Lowery grew up in Preston but now lives near Cambridge with his young family. Some of the time he is a primary school teacher. In the olden days he used to spend his time doing lots of active stuff like running, hiking, snowboarding and swimming but now he prefers staying in and attempting to entertain his children. He plays the guitar badly and speaks appalling Italian but he knows a lot about biscuits. In his mind he is one of the great footballers of his generation, although he is yet to demonstrate this on an actual football pitch. He has an MA in Writing for Children and his first two books - Socks Are Not Enough and Pants Are Everything - were both short-listed for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize. Mark is also the author of the Roman Garstang series (The Jam Doughnut that Ruined my Life; The Chicken Nugget Ambush; The Attack of the Woolly Jumper). He is yet to find a cake that he doesn't like.
