The Mystery of the Forever Weekend

A gripping, page-turning mystery adventure from the bestselling author of modern classic The Goldfish Boy Cory is coming to dread having the Sunday Scaries. The kids at school are picking on him because of his cheesy daytime TV presenter father and he's struggling with lessons. Ahead of a Monday comprising a maths test and another lonely lunchbreak, Cory wishes that the weekend would never end... and when he wakes up the next day, time has reset itself to Sunday morning. This is amazing! He can re-watch his favourite football team win a big match and have pizza for dinner - and do-over some less brilliant things, plus play the lottery to win! But Cory soon gets frustrated with being stuck in this time loop - he may win the lottery but the next day never arrives when he can spend the money. He must break the curse and return to normality - but how? a wonderfully funny and imaginative twist on classic movie Groundhog Day
