Another fabulous instalment in the hilarious ALISTAIR FURY series. The official tie-in for a TV series screened on the BBC in 2008

Alistair Fury is out for revenge. No more running errands. No more being called 'Alice'! It's payback time for his embarrassing mum, his bone-idle dad, and his constantly teasing older brother and sister.

Only Alistair's two best friends - and this, his private diary - share his secrets. Culminating in a scene involving a snake, a toupee and a live TV broadcast, Alistair tries to wreak spectacular revenge but it doesn't exactly go according to plan . . .

In lively and accessible diary form, this is a story of family life at its funniest, packed with schoolboy humour .

Praise for The Revenge Files of Alistair Fury: Summer Helliday

The problems that go with being a younger sibling are well documented but Jamie Rix's take on the phenomenon is to appeal straight to the heart and humour of the matter
