Finn N. O. Hope, ultimate fail-magnet, is back in this second instalment of the hilarious middle-grade series by Phil Earle. Perfect for readers of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Loki and Tom Gates. 

‘A riotous tale about the biggest loser since Wimpy Kid – you’ll be laughing from beginning to end.’ Jamie Smart, creator of Bunny vs Monkey, on Finn's Epic Fails

Finn’s Gran is treating the family to a summer vacation in Tenerife – what could possibly go wrong? How about lost luggage, a hotel with guest rats, an army of dads in tiny mankinis (shudder) and an unexpected encounter with the Mothership and her new boyfriend… Suddenly it’s feeling less like paradise and more like the HOLIDAY FROM HELL. Finn’s going to need some serious good luck to turn this festival of fails into a week of wins!

'Failure has never been this funny. Finn is my new hero!' - Rob Biddulph

• Laughter guaranteed

• Cringe karaoke

• Poolside pranks

• Off the scale Fail-o-meters!!!

About the Author

Phil Earle

I didn't always want to be a writer.

I wanted to play football for Hull City, but when a complete absence of talent, skill or stamina cruelly thwarted my lofty ambitions, I turned to daydreaming instead, which led me to storytelling.

I've written twenty-five books now for children and teenagers, and LOVE visiting schools, libraries and festivals to talk to people about the power of stories. It's a magnificent way to live my life...

Home is on the side of a very steep hill in Yorkshire, with my wife, our children and two dogs.
