DEXTER PROCTOR: THE 10-YEAR OLD DOCTOR by Adam Kay
PAPERBACK
Author: Adam Kay
Illustrator: Henry Paker
DEXTER PROCTOR: THE 10-YEAR OLD DOCTOR is a laugh-out-loud, fast-paced story about being different, fitting in, and saving the day - sometimes all at once. From the moment he’s born, it’s clear Dexter is extraordinary. By the age of ten, he’s not just clever, he’s a fully qualified paediatrician working in a busy hospital.
Despite his incredible brain, Dexter struggles with very normal problems. School is awkward, friendships are complicated, and not everyone is thrilled to have a child doctor around - especially his enemy, Dr Drake. When disaster strikes Dexter’s old school and chaos spreads fast (involving a lot of very unfortunate tummy trouble), Dexter is faced with his biggest challenge yet.
Adam Kay’s writing is energetic, silly, and easy to read, packed with jokes, comic exaggeration, and just enough science to keep things interesting. Beneath the humour, the story gently explores confidence, friendship, and learning that being yourself is more important than being perfect.
Perfect for readers who love comedy and clever chaos, Dexter Procter: The 10-Year-Old Doctor is a hugely entertaining read. It’s a book that proves you don’t have to be “normal” to find where you belong - and that sometimes the smartest thing you can do is be kind.
