Diary of a Tennis Prodigy tells the story of Marcus, a maths whiz who isn’t particularly skilled at sport. Despite this, his father, a self-help author, believes that Marcus can achieve anything he sets his mind to, leading to a series of hilarious outcomes.

Presented in an illustrated diary format, Marcus's gentle, satiric humour, and comic drawings will have readers laughing out loud while also learning a surprising amount about sport.
