The Accidental books, by author and illustrator Tom McLaughlin, are perfect for fun-loving readers aged 9+.
 
These hilarious stories follow schoolkids in amazing jobs and situations – schoolboy turned secret agent, inventor turned billlionaire and, of course, the accidental prime minister whose video saying what he would do if he were leader of the country goes viral, with unexpected consequences.
