A laugh-out-loud and punny take on Groundhog Day for young readers from a top-notch author-illustrator pairing.

Ever-punctual Anna Gain is never late, and she's certainly never late for the school bus. Every day she catches it in perfect time. But not today. After a series of absurd events cause Anna to miss the bus, she's transported one minute back in time – only to be stuck re-living the same sixty seconds again … and again … and again … Is fate trying to teach Anna a lesson? And will she ever escape?

Anna Gain and the Same Sixty Seconds is particularly suitable for readers aged 7+ with a reading age of 7.

About the Author

Steve May has been a life-long doodler, studying fine art and film making in Nottingham and Animation at the Royal College of Art. Steve's scratchy spontaneous illustration style made him the perfect partner for Puffin's best-selling Dennis the Menace fiction series, Harry Hill's Matt Mills series and Francesca Simon's Terrible Viking books. He has also been happily immersed in a world of burps, beards and bogeys as part of his collaboration with Gareth Jones on the Pet Defenders series.
