Something I Said

Reviews / Votes

Carmichael is a brilliantly relatable lead on a very funny and often poignant journey of self-discovery * The Bookseller * Fantastically, gloriously funny. I loved this book; it gave me such joy at every single page * Katherine Rundell, author of The Explorer * This wise and warm book is fat because it's composed of equal parts plot and comedic riffing, all of which feels essential to its snort-out-loud charm * Observer * Witty and touching, this book is ideal for 10-plus readers who love wordplay and wild, looping tangents * Guardian, Summer reading: the 50 hottest new books everyone should read * A hilarious and original story. Carmichael Taylor is the stuff of legends - he's my new favourite character * Katya Balen, author of The Space We're In * I absolutely LOVED it. A gloriously heartfelt tale wrapped up in first class comedy. I lost count of the number of times I laughed until I cried! * Sibeal Pounder, author of the Witch Wars series * In this charmingly vivid portrayal of family and the ups and downs of school life, Ben has included all the star ingredients for a funny, touching read which will really resonate with teens. With 13 year old Car in class you're def never getting bored - I thoroughly recommend it! * Jasbinder Bilan, author of Asha and the Spirit Bird * An original concept, spot-on observations of family life and friendships, and snappy dialogue give this book a fresh feel. Best of all, it's very, very funny! * Lesley Parr, author of The Valley of Lost Secrets * Fantastic! Pitch perfect comedic voice * Katie Tsang, author of Dragon Mountain * For a fast paced, funny romp, Ben Bailey Smith - otherwise known as rapper Doc Brown - has you covered ... a fun read * Independent * If you're looking for a laugh, look no further than Something I Said * Scotsman *
