    Can you imagine a world with no screens? Don't miss the hilarious new 'what-if' adventure from bestselling author, comedian, and presenter Danny Wallace.

    When ten-year-old Stella wakes up to discover a world full of BLANK screens, her family, town, and in fact the whole world seems to have been thrown into chaos. And what about poor Grandma who is stranded at the other end of the country?

    Cue a rollicking madcap road trip, full of driving disasters and family fallouts, as they set off on a rescue mission. And along the way Stella and her family discover that being away from screens might not be the WORST THING EVER, and even though they might not be able to rely on technology anymore, they can rely on each other instead.

      This book was great! I love it. An adventure story and a long journey to go through. Would highly recommend! I have recommended to our school library, and they now have it, and it has so many reservations for people to take it out!

      About the book,
      When 10year old Stella (obsessed with organisation) finds a world of blank screens, she finds it “fun” but when they remember Grandma on the other side of the country 8 hours away! With no skipe to call with, they immediately go to there dads office and gets a frined to right out the roads for them. This trip took way longer than expected…. Ended up with a hideously dirty car, a strange man who dad kept saying was “Unlcle Tony” and many more surprises!

      Would very much reccomend to anybody, may be harder to read for 5-6year olds, but the audio book is fab too. Thanks so much for reading x
