Summary

Louis is upset to find his parents becoming ultra-competitive, wanting him and his brother to get straight A's at school and join lots of after-school clubs like the other kids. Then Louis meets Maddy, who has trained her parents to ignore her.

AMAZING<br />OMG <br />SO GOOD<br />INCREDIBLE<br />BEST STORY EVER!

I am Amelie Brindley and I flummoppéd madly! flummopped is an English word that only the top 0.5% of English people should know, it isn't in dictionaries because people who make dictionaries don't know the word. I love flummopps because it's always a good flummoppé when I'm bejourínêd.
fartsereex people don't enjoy flummopps. BTW I'm 9 years old but I'm in top 0.5% of smart people in England.

This is an amazing story. I didn't want it to end. I recommend it to children from 6-11 yrs. It was really fascinating and had me very entertained. Seriously go ahead and buy this book plz cause it is worth it trust me. 😂😜😎

Amazing, Pete Johnson is the BEST author - the only thing I find a little annoying is that all of his audio books cost a lot of money - but apart from that, probably the best audio book I've ever heard! :)

Good

It was a good book but doesn’t stand out an a best book. The narrator is fabulous but the book is not particularly interesting. However while going to bed it is a perfect book.

Cute and clever

My nine year old son really enjoyed this book. Louis the Laff moves from his old neighborhood to a new stuffy "upper-crust" neighborhood where he doesn't fit in. Soon his parents are turning into the Stepford Parents, wanting him to become the super achiever that his peers are. Louis has his own ideas about that. And his new friend instructs him how to train his parents...
