From the author of bestselling debut Boy Underwater comes another moving, hilarious novel of friendship and family secrets, which shows that people are people, no matter where they’re from.
BOY UNDERWATER WAS SHORTLISTED FOR THE CARNEGIE AWARD, AND SELECTED AS WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE MONTH. Here’s something you won’t believe: someone is doing TERRIBLE things to Mrs Martin, Cymbeline Igloo’s favourite teacher of all time.
Cymbeline has to find the culprit (after he’s learned what ‘culprit’ means). He’s also got to help his friend Veronique, whose grandma is dangerously ill. It seems Nanai has a secret, connected to her arrival in the UK as a Boat Person from Vietnam, a traumatic journey in which she lost her twin sister. Can Cymbeline figure out the mystery in time?
One thing is for sure: even the most unexpected people can change your life in wonderful ways . . .

I enjoyed the mystery of Nanai and I wanted to know what was happening to Mrs Martin. Cym managed to solve both mysteries and saves the school!
Its such a funny and interesting book with a heartwarming ending!
A long book, but entertaining and I felt like I was part of the story, just watching!
Good for more advanced readers
good
It was good
1) I think this book was outstanding but I didn't like when the book talked about football a lot and
I'm not really into that sort of stuff.
2) it was a bit funny at the end because they did a book review about war and peace that on of Cymbeline's friend asked Cymbline to give her war and peace. Then Cymbline said greedy anyway I'm not the government and her friend meant a book called War and peace.
3) this was not fiction so.
4) yea but not next door my friend is only 7 and I don't think she'll read it because its to many pages.
I thought this book was a funny, intriguing mystery. I would reccomend this book to people who like mystery books.
