Book of the Week
'The Cheat Book' by Ramzee
When Kamal writes a poem about what ‘home’ means to him as a Somalian refugee, his teacher loves it so much that she decides he should read it in an assembly. But unfortunately, this results in a humiliating incident that leads to Kamal being nicknamed ‘Puke Boy’ by the whole school. With his social capital at zero, Kamal finds a mysterious book in the library called ‘The Cheat Book’ that gives him tips and tricks to overcome the obstacles he faces at school. But how far will Kamal go in his quest for popularity? This heartfelt, and hilarious, illustrated book is perfect for fans of ‘The Wimpy Kid’ and ‘Tom Gates’.

Location: Big Top on the YMCA Hawker Centre playing field
Time: 3 shows at 12:00 pm, 2:00 pm & 4:00 pm
Showtime: approx. 55 mins

Doors to the Big Top will open 15 minutes before each show starts. You can arrive up to 30 minutes before a show, but not before (to avoid congestion between shows). Thank you.
