About this deal

My mum’s embarrassing enough just being my mum, but now she’s won The Voice of Feeko’s competition it’s even worse.’ Barry’s mum has become a bit of celebrity, and now he can’t go anywhere without seeing a poster of her eating a chocolate digestive or wiggling her bum in a pair of jeans. It’s so annoy-embarrassing, and everyone at school is making fun of him. But you can’t keep Barry down for long . . . With the help of his napkin collection, new girl Nancy Verkenwerken and a snail called Snailypoos, Barry is determined to prove once and for all that he is not a loser. Only problem with this is that Loser is rubbish at football. So he proposes he be their football coach instead, which doesn’t enthuse everyone but he pushes it through nonetheless. Cue Loser bossing them all around and the friends all falling out with him. “He’s losing it, Schmendrix… The kid’s not fit to be Coach!” Applicability of cancellation rights: Legal rights of cancellation under the Distance Selling Regulations available for UK or EU consumers do not apply to certain products and services. Anyway this book by Jim Smith (whilst on the football theme, not to be confused with the other Jim Smith – the former football manager of Derby County and Portsmouth) sees Barry Loser agree that he and his mates, much to their chagrin, will partake in a big football match against Avocado Hill, “the posh little village that sits on top of a slope overlooking Mogden Town”, the place Loser (as Barry Loser is commonly referred to) lives. My mum and dad are so busy looking after my brand new baby brother, Desmond Loser the Second, that sometimes I wonder if they even know I exist.’

My best friend Bunky is sort of like my pet dog, so it was weird when he suddenly started fancying a cat one day.’Barry can’t wait to tell his friends that they’ve been invited on his family caravan holiday to Plonkton. But the weekend by the sea doesn’t turn out to be the keelfest Barry was hoping for. It’s all his best mate Bunky’s fault for going and falling in love. OH. MY. UNKEELNESS! In the first book, Barry has had enough of being a loser and wants to prove he’s a Total Winner, but when his parents ban him from gaming he has to think outside of the box . . . Barry also has a new cat called French Fries – the keelest cat ever amen. Brand new adventures for Barry Loser in this new series of full colour graphic novels – perfect for fans of DogMan, Bunny vs Monkey and Kitty Quest I've never minded that my name's Barry Loser because my coolness has always cancelled it out, but ever since Darren Darrenofski joined school with his horrible little crocodile face he's been completely ruining my life about it.'The review of the eight year old boy in our house … "Can I keep it to give to a friend?" Best recommendation you can get' Observer The book is funny how it puts, essentially, a football coach into the environs of a school. It is also funny how the kids all have Tamagotchi-style toys that need looking after, but that actually keep them busy as if they real-life babies. For example kids are really sleepy coming into school because these things have been crying all night needing to be looked after. You know when someone's horrible to you in a dream and you wake up really annoyed with them? That’s what happened to me with my best friend Bunky. It was a three month contract; seventeen years later, Jim is head of design at Puccino's Worldwide Ltd, now an international coffee shop franchise with stores in the UK, Europe and Egypt.

There’s a FIFA Football World Cup coming up in case you didn’t notice (this review was written a week prior to the Russia World Cup 2018). That means there are lots of tie-in football-related books getting released. This is one of them. If you don’t believe me then look at the opening sentence: “Ever since the World Cup started, everyone in school has been comperleeterly into football.” This is not intended to be a full statement of all your rights under the Distance Selling Regulations.
