The shape of it
The shape of this universe.
Worst Week Ever! is Eva Amores and Matt Cosgrove's frantic, globally bestselling comedy series that runs one catastrophic day at a time. Across seven books - Monday through Sunday - hapless Justin Chase endures a week from hell: a new school, a bully, a possibly-vampire stepfather, a desert island, a zombie apocalypse and, finally, an alien invasion. Told in a manic mash-up of text, cartoons and real photographs, the series is fast, daft and stuffed with slapstick and gross-out gags. Built squarely for reluctant readers who devour Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Tom Gates and the Treehouse books, it turns short bursts of visual comedy into relentless page-turners, and pays off its running jokes with a big, silly, world-saving finale.
A frantic photo-and-cartoon comedy told one disastrous day at a time - Monday to Sunday - as hapless Justin Chase survives bullies, zombies and an alien invasion.
