Blurb

Charlie Underwood hopes that he has found a bully-free zone by moving to a new school. Unfortunately, he hasn't. When he comes up against the unfriendly shape of TJ Carver, it seems that he just jumped from the frying pan into the fire. Unable to match TJ physically the only way Charlie can fight back is through the fantasy-world of his stories. But does Charlie have the stuff that heroes are made of? Johnstown Primary School present Charlie Underwood Fights Back at the 2015 BookSlam. Congratulations on their winning performance!
