Summary
Four best friends, two boybands and an evil uncle with a monstrous secret - what could possibly go wrong? Kid Normal meets Britain's Got Talent in this hilarious new series for listeners of eight and above.
This story begins with a snoring pug, a forgetful grandma and the hero of this adventure in a really bad mood. There is also a goose on the loose. We just wanted to warn you.
Jamie McFlair's favourite band got a slot performing on the country's biggest talent show, but it went wrong thanks to Barry Bigtime (in an 'incident' involving a chocolate milkshake and worn underpants - don't ask).
Barry is a music big shot, all round nasty man...and Jamie's uncle. The next day, he launches his own massive new band and Jamie smells a rat. With the help of three trusty best friends - popular Daisy, no-nonsense Jenners and timid Mel - Jamie vows to uncover Barry's dastardly plan.
But Jamie doesn't know about Barry's secret. A secret that is terrible and shocking and very strange. There's something hidden in Barry's basement - a machine that is the key to his musical success. But what happens when the boyband generator goes wrong? We'll give you a clue: it is not good and the entire world is at risk. Can Jamie stop Barry Bigtime before it's too late?

Superbly read, imaginative story with a spirited young heroine to inspire its young readers
I listened to this colourful story of young Jamie McFlair and her overblown Uncle Barry aka Barry Big Time along with my 9-year-old niece Issy. Issy instantly related to the story of boy bands, singing competitions, YouTube heroes and friendship groups. While myself as a former primary teacher, was impressed with the vivid and clever descriptions throughout the book which helped both of us conjure up imaginative pictures of the characters and Barry’s grandiose chateau. I also noted that the authors did their bit to expand the vocabulary of their young audience by dropping a few choice long words into the story and then explaining them, all good news for us educators. But most of all we loved the fun, excitement and drama of this book, which is perfectly pitched for this age group and superbly read by Joe Jameson. I hope the authors are planning Jamie and her friends’ next adventure very soon.
