Charlie McGuffin has an incredible secret . . .
He can change into animals. All sorts of animals: a flea, a pigeon, even a rhino.
Trouble is, he can't decidewhen- it only happens when he gets worried. And right now, Charlie has quite a lot to worry about:
· His brother (who is in hospital)
· His parents (who are panicking about it)
· And the school bully (who has Charlie in his sights)
And even though every kid wants a superhero power, Charlie isn't keen on changing into a chicken in the middle of the school play.
So with the help of his three best friends, Charlie needs to find a way of dealing with his crazy new power - and fast!

Recenzii
The
best
kind
of
silly
Cleverly daft storytelling at its very, very best
Hysterically funny!
Full of heart and humour, wit and wisdom, and rivers of rhino poo
Wonderfully heart-warming and absolutely hilarious
Laugh out loud funny, with an important underlying message on how to cope with anxiety
Fresh and funny - this reads like a modern-day Dahl
In the words of Jean-Claude the pigeon, I am in love with this most delicious, beautiful and delectable book and I wish to fly away with it!
Brilliant, laugh-out-loud funny and genuinely moving
So good you'll CLUCK with laughter!
I laughed out loud at the part about yin and yang and win and wang. Oh, and the rhino poo - giant poo will never not be funny.
One of the most hyped children's debut of the decade.. Here is the modern masterpiece: a book that is full of laughs, while also exploring childhood anxiety.. This is a touching and engaging story. This savvy, comic tale ticks every box.
This really is one of the funniest, freshest debuts I've read in a long time. Delightfully silly and utterly heartfelt.. Comedy is hard to do right, but Copeland's enviable timing and knack for properly laugh-out-loud jokes set this apart. Charlie's experiences in animal form are comedy gold... it is just genius. A real delight and deserves to be huge.
An adventure of fantastical proportions.. a comic novel which fans of Kid Normal will flock to
This is a book that isn't what you expect, cleverly portraying ways of dealing with stress and anxiety..This is a brilliant and positive debut from Sam Copeland
Very funny indeed.
Charlie Changes Into a Chicken is a gloriously fun, madcap adventure with a celebration of friendship at its heart.
A clever and hilarious story with a hero you'll love... I'm already looking forward to the next one
A brilliant debut . . . laugh-out-loud funny
Gloriously silly, gleefully naughty and totally entertaining
For readers of about seven-plus, Sam Copeland's debut Charlie Changes Into a Chicken (Puffin) is a stand-out star, offering belly-busting hilarity and a loving, light touch take on childhood anxiety . . . A supportive cast of friends (fiendishly clever Flora in particular), subtly planted strategies for coping with worry, and some joyfully silly metanarrative tricks (including a publisher's letter of apology) place Charlie head and shoulders above the competition; Sarah Horne's wild-haired, twitch-eyed illustrations add another layer to the fun.
An essential talent, full of the best of Roald Dahl and David Walliams
Fantastically ridiculous and silly in equal measures . . . will have readers snorting with giggles
"A stand-out star, offering belly-busting hilarity.. Head and shoulders above the competition."
"A brilliant debut... a book that is not only laugh-out-loud funny but offers important advice about coping with anxiety."
"An essential talent, full of the best of Roald Dahl"
"This is one of the best children's tales we've come across in years... hilariously funny but with proper heart.. providing laughter on every page, it's a sure-fire debut hit."
"A great example of a kids' book with lots of humour."
"Sam Copeland's debut is brilliant, laugh-out-loud funny and genuinely moving. However, Charlie Changes into a Chicken is not just a joyous read, through its relentlessly hilarious narrative it ingeniously communicates an important message for children who struggle with anxiety or are confronted by difficulties in their life. A great debut is one that you feel must have always existed, and this is one of those books. Every school library needs to have multiple copies and may I recommend it to every single parent out there."
"This is a glorious debut from an exciting new voice in children's comedy fiction. Sam Copeland WILL turn into a megastar on the strength of this first outing. Cleverly daft storytelling at its very, very best."
"Gloriously silly, gleefully naughty, totally entertaining. So good, in fact, that I HAD to finish it once my son was asleep!"
"A heart-warming story that has led to comparisons with such celebrated authors as David Walliams and David Solomons. But this is no ordinary children's story. ... (it) doesn't just entertain his readers but can actually help them to deal with their anxieties."
"A side-splitting debut... fantastically ridiculous... will have readers snorting with giggles."
