Bored Bill by Liz Pichon tells the story of Bill, who is bored. Not just a bit bored, but really, really bored. His owner, Mrs Pickle, is never bored. She's always busy reading, gardening, cooking or practising kung fu. But Bill finds it all very dull, until one windy day, he's swept up into the air and off into space...

This hilarious tale is a reminder that life never has to be boring, brought to you by the brilliantly funny Liz Pichon!

In Bored Bill, readers follow Bill who is deeply bored. His owner, Mrs Pickle, keeps herself occupied by reading, gardening, cooking, or doing kung fu. But for Bill, these activities hold no interest. That is, until one windy day, when everything changes...

Full of bold, wacky humour and animated illustrations, Liz Pichon takes us on a space adventure that pulls Bill out of his snooze-fest against all odds! This story is a laugh-out-loud celebration of imagination and silliness, serving as a reminder that excitement can be found in the most ordinary of places.

Perfect for fans of Jon Klassen's I Want My Hat Back, Rob Biddulph's Blown Away, or Liz Pichon's very own bestselling Tom Gates series, this story is bound to make you think twice before ever moaning to your friends or parents, 'I'm bored'!

About the Author

Liz Pichon is the bestselling British author and illustrator behind the multi-award-winning Tom Gates series of children's books, which have sold over 16 million copies worldwide. Her distinctive style, which combines text with a high volume of doodles and illustrations in a diary format, was influenced by her own experiences with undiagnosed dyslexia and a desire to create engaging books for reluctant readers. Before becoming a celebrated author and illustrator, Liz worked as an art director in the music industry. The success of her first Tom Gates book in 2011, which won the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Waterstones Children's Book Prize, launched a global phenomenon that has since been adapted into an animated television series and a stage show.
