SCAREDY CAT, the fourth title in the Bigg School series is out TODAY! This time the year 7s of Henry Bigg Academy are off on a residential trip. Can secret ‘scaredy cat’ Ajay get through the three days unscathed? As always, my words are brilliantly brought to life by Jess’s hilarious illustrations.
