When Compton Valance and his best friend Bryan Nylon discover the world's first TIME MACHINE (aka a mouldy, thirteen-week-old-cheese-and-pickled-egg sandwich), they become the most powerful boys in the universe. But how will Compton and Bryan decide to use their incredible new time-travelling powers? Will they use them for good? Will they use them for evil? Or will they just focus their efforts on perfecting a formula for the world's first pair of custard trousers?
Here's some early praise for Compton:
"Funny, clever, brilliant - I love this book" Dermot O'Leary
"Clever, imaginative and pretty gross... Basically perfect in every way" Myleene Klass
“A book bulging with lively illustrations… laugh-out-loud jokes and funny, clever plots and twists. This is a story just asking to be read… again and again and again.” Lancashire Evening Post
“Told at a speed to match the time-travel theme of the story, this is a highly entertaining and wittily illustrated adventure which pays a lot of attention to food! Dreamy Compton Valance’s world is turned upside down when he comes across a very old sandwich which has some very unusual powers. Soon Compton Valance and his best-friend Bryan Nylon find they have the amazing power to travel through time. It’s a fun and frightening experience and the two boys have a lot of laughs on their unusual travels.” Julia Eccleshare (The Guardian)
"This might just be the funniest book ever written" Molly, aged 9
“This is one of the best books I’ve ever read, it is super-duper funny!” Henry aged 10
"The best book I have read since Diary of a Wimpy Kid" Dom, aged 10
