Meet HARI KUMAR, superstar-in-the-making, in this laugh-out-loud doodle-packed diary series for 8+ readers.

‘Hari is my favourite type of character. A warm, witty and cleverly observed story’ Louie Stowell, author of Loki ‘Funny, fresh and relatable – Hari Kumar really is a superstar’ A. F. Steadman, author of the Skandar series Hari Kumar: 10 years old, 75% Indian, 25% French, and 100% going to be a superstar. All Hari needs to make it big is a lucky break – a chance to get his name out there. And when that arrives in the form of a film festival competition at school, it’s Hari’s chance to shine. But life isn’t always like the movies. The new kid Hari thought would be his sidekick turns out to have the makings of a true villain, the crack team he’s assembled have minds of their own, and censorship (in the form of the Deputy Head Teacher) is looming. Can Hari keep things together and pull off an epic comeback, or will his film-making debut be cancelled before it’s even released…? Packed full of friendship, doodles and draaaaama, this series is perfect for fans of TOM GATES and LOKI!

Written in journal format with lots of visuals and drawings which are as entertaining as the writing. Gives a insight into Hari’s neurodiversity by the sharing of his thoughts and feelings. Hari’s Indian-French heritage is explored with lots of cultural references, and his immediate and extended family are a joy to meet. You will laugh a lot!
