Description

Arthur Bean believes he is a writing genius - but is it all in his own mind? Get swept along in the antics of this crazy year: Arthur desperately needs to come up with a story idea to win the writing contest and in the process, hopefully also steal the heart of Kennedy, whom he admires from a distance. Will Robbie - the boy who used to torment him but that he now has to tutor - help him clinch the contest? Arthur's weekly writing assignments and his teachers' astute feedback also subtly disclose why Arthur is so stuck - his mother died last year and he still has no clue how to cope.
