'funny, so smart and refreshingly honest' Sarah Millican 'Hollie McNish's words always sweep me away' Giovanna Fletcher A brand-new collection from the award-winning poet, the companion piece to the Sunday Times bestselling Slug. This book is written out of both hate and love for the world As people, we are capable of both love and hate; amazement and disgust; fun and misery. So why do we live in a world that is constantly telling us to hate, both ourselves and others? We are told to be repulsed by our own bodies, bodies that let us laugh and sweat and eat toast; to be ashamed of pleasure; to be embarrassed by fun. In this brand-new collection, Hollie McNish brings her inimitable style to the question of what have been taught to hate, and if we might learn to love again. 'Never have we needed her more' Stylist 'I've loved her work for years' Jo Brand 'She writes with honesty, conviction, humour and love' Kae Tempest

Andy may be a little socially awkward, but thanks to his awesome atomic pencil-which can bring doodles to life-he's far from an ordinary dweeb. Look out, evil-doers ... here comes SUPER DWEEB! Mona, the cool new girl at school, has somehow talked Andy into becoming a costumed crimefighter. Now, thanks to his snazzy superheroic stylings, he's gained both an army of fans, and an arch-enemy ... and he can't decide which is worse! The president-for-life of Andy's fan club is his little brother, Oscar, and while he may not have a superpower, Oscar's still super-determined to become Andy's sidekick. Andy is definitely not up for having a little kid following him around! Meanwhile, witness the diabolical origin story of Doctor Eraser-Butt - the sinister super-scientist, whose bulbous behind can obliterate objects from existence. The second of the Super Dweeb series, this unpredictable, anarchic adventure story features comic-strip-style storytelling in full-colour and is perfect for readers aged 7-9.
