Adam Kay, a best-selling author, comedian, and former doctor, has released his debut novel featuring illustrations by the renowned comedian Henry Paker. The story revolves around Dexter Procter, a remarkable child who exhibits extraordinary talents from the moment he is born, speaking just four seconds after delivery. By the age of three, Dexter had amassed an impressive 87 A-levels, covering subjects from Afrikaans to Zoology. At ten, he had already embarked on a career in pediatrics at Lilydale General Hospital. Despite being surrounded by a loving, albeit irritating family and having good friends like Rupi and Otto, Dexter feels out of place. His life is further complicated by a nemesis named Dr. Drake and a significant crisis at his former school, where all the teachers are suddenly afflicted with severe diarrhea. Throughout these challenges, Dexter must navigate saving his job, rescuing his school, and ultimately finding where he belongs in the world. Spoiler: he is successful in his endeavors. This uproarious new fiction series showcases the adventures of the world's youngest doctor, delighting readers with its humor and informative content. Celebrated author Jacqueline Wilson praises it as "original, very funny, ultra-informative - and children will love all the disgusting parts," while David Baddiel recommends scheduling a side-splitting appointment with Dr. Procter immediately.
