FINN'S EPIC FAILS is a laugh-out-loud middle-grade story from award-winning author Phil Earle, introducing readers to the unforgettable Finn N. O. Hope - a boy whose life seems to be a never-ending series of disasters.
All Finn wants is to survive the chaos of Year 7, but things are not going according to plan. In fact, they’re going spectacularly wrong. It’s only Tuesday and his unicorn-obsessed little sister has already glued a horn to his head, his evil older brother has given him hundreds of wedgies, and an embarrassing swimming lesson has become the talk of the entire school.
Luckily, Finn isn’t facing it all alone. His loyal best friends - hopeless romantic Laszlo and super-smart “Google,” who always has the answers - are by his side as he tries to turn his latest humiliations into something resembling a win.
Told with fast-paced humour, doodle-style fun and plenty of awkward moments, this hilarious story captures the ups and downs of starting secondary school - and the importance of friendship when everything seems to be going wrong.
Why you should treat-your-shelf:
- Packed with laugh-out-loud school disasters and relatable moments
- Perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Tom Gates
- A fun, diary-style story full of personality and humour

Full of mishaps, mischief and memorable characters, Finn’s Epic Fails is a brilliantly funny story about surviving school, surviving siblings - and learning that sometimes failure can be the start of something great.
