Little Badman and the Invasion of the Killer Aunties

Product Information

But now, I (and my best friend Umer I guess) face something even scarier - my dad! He's pretty fed up with us being naughty, so he's sending us away . . . to school. Something weird is happening at school though: teachers are disappearing and being replaced by food-obsessed Aunties intent on fattening everyone up! When his music teacher vanishes, putting a halt to Humza’s rapper dreams, he’s determined to figure out what’s going on – and then things start to get really crazy... Among all the many laughs in this book, there's some quite serious reflection on parenting and how to be true to yourself. How important was expressing that message for you? But now these aunties are trying to mess with my music, so me and my best friends Umer and Wendy are going to hunt for the truth. Cos something big and bad is going on and we won't let anything mess with my music... or you know, the world.

I'm Humza Khan, the greatest eleven-year-old rapper Eggington has ever known; soon everyone will know my name.Why did you decide to write the story of Little Badman? (please tell us about Diary of a Badman here, as not all readers will know of him!) Humza (aka Little Badman) great ambition is to be a super cool rapper and he devotes most of his time and energy on pursuing this goal. At least Humza has found someone to help with his homework. It's just a shame this friend isn't exactly . . . alive.

Ultimately we want it to be a fun, silly, adventure story but yes it's always good to get in some messages to kids about being yourself, following your passions, family values and respecting your elders. But when Humza's music teacher is taken ill his dreams are put on hold. His Auntie has stepped in as substitute, and nobody seems to care about the unorthodox teaching because of the endless sweet treats. As other teachers start to disappear, with more Aunties appearing in their place, Humza knows something isn't right. But this is not ordinary school.
