Second hilarious novel from the author of the funny, filmic and fast-paced crime-caper HOW TO ROB A BANK.



Fourteen-year-old Jacob is thrilled when he wins the chance to feature in the next Marvel movie, shooting in Hollywood. But after missing his connecting flight in Chicago, he tries to complete the journey by Greyhound bus – and there he meets Jennifer.


Jennifer is an American teenager on the run with a mysterious package she’s guarding with her life – and an enigmatic figure known only as ‘the Cowboy’ is hot on her heels . . .


Jacob soon finds himself on the road-trip of a lifetime as Jennifer’s unwitting partner in crime. Will he make it to LA in time – and in one piece? A funny, filmic, page-turning adventure, ideal for readers aged 11+.

(view spoiler)[ This book is TREASURE. I love it so much! It's quick and funny and chaotic- absolutely beautiful. And the ending was summed up quickly and nicely. But I'm kind of wondering where her mom's ashes really are then- (hide spoiler)]

REALLLLLLLLLLLLLL i thought it was on that box that they did a stealing mission on from the cowboy, it was melancholic, it was wholesome and nitty at the same time 😆. It's absolutely such a GEM 💎💎💎💎
