About this deal

This book is set in year seven so the characters are on the younger side, but I feel like this book can be appreciated by all ages. It does mention Game of Thrones in at one point, nothing in depth, but simply stating the TV show, and personally, I'm not sure I would have really known too much about adult TV shows when I was that age (though I could be wrong), which I'm presuming is the target audience (though I could be completely wrong here as well), but now, slightly older than what I presume is the target audience I feel like that mention really added to the characters and who they are, which is why I feel it can be appreciated by older readers. The friendships in this book were raw; you can really see how much these characters cared for each other and their connection. I'm not going to reveal too much as it'll ruin your initial thoughts on this. A moving, humane, funny portrait of two very different boys discovering what connects us all' Kiran Milwood Hargrave, author of The Girl of Ink and Stars When things already aren’t going right, we often focus on what else could go wrong. This negativity makes it almost impossible for us to focus on fixing the things going wrong in the first place! It’s a never-ending cycle. It’s never a good idea to focus on hypothetical things. Nor would you obsess about things that are out of your control.

Like Alex, Dan’s life is not straight forward either. Since his older brother left home, everything in Dan’s world feels different. Dan plays out his frustrations at school, messing around in class and finding easy targets at school to bully with his friends. When we’re worried about what could go wrong, the things that worry us most are those we have no control over. Usually, the only things you can control are your actions, your thoughts, and your own words. If you’re worried about money, start squirreling away a rainy-day fund. If you’re concerned about losing your job, clean up your resume and have it ready to send out to places you’re qualified for. These are the things you can control in your life, so take control! 2. Write a list of all the things you’re afraid of Let's start with the characters before moving into a traditional review. Alex has OCD, but he is not on any medication or seeing a therapist with any regularity. His parents worry about the expense of a therapist, which is understandable, but Alex's OCD is problematic, causing him to be frequently late for school and damaging his hands and his school supplies from multiple washings. It also appears that his teachers are indifferent or ignorant of his condition. Ok, now that that's off my chest, how about the rest of this book? We are off to a grand start, right? It must be good, right?But Dan is angry, and misses his brother. He soon realises that Alex isn’t all that bad. He can impersonate Yoda, C-3PO and R2-D2. However weird he is, he’s actually pretty cool. And Alex, poor little Alex, bless him. You really get a sense of his struggles and being able to access the thoughts in his head was so important which is why it's such a good book to have included both the victim's and the bully's perspective.

I’ll just have one last wash before I go. I rub my hands together; they sting and they’re red-raw like a pomegranate. all the things that could go wrong (Deluxe)’ is the deluxe version of Johnny Orlando’s fourth studio album ‘all the things that could go wrong’. This is an absorbing, easy to read story, and will appeal to fans of Wonder. It really captures the misery of OCD and the loneliness of being a bully's victim. Rich and strange (and kitted out with an eye-catching cover), but stronger in the set pieces than the internal logic. Deeply moving and utterly gripping . . . Stewart Foster carries off an astonishing feat of storytelling in this exceptional book' Julia Eccleshare, lovereading.co.ukAt the end of the story, I could not help but scream "aww." Dan and Alex were the two people that you would never expect to ever become friends, but Dan finally learned the right from the wrong and befriended Alex. The idea of their friendship blossoming from the raft Shooting Star was such a good symbol of the novel. In the end, Alex, Dan, and Ben ventures on Shooting Star, which to me represents that their friendship took time, hard work, effort, and understanding, but at the end, it turned out to be a great adventure of friendship.

A moving, humane, funny portrait of two very different boys discovering what connects us all' Kiran Milwood Hargrave, author of The Girl of Ink and Stars If you are struggling with OCD or bullying, be aware that these are subjects handled within the book. Alex’s thoughts felt very real and honestly scared me so consider if you’re in the position to read this.It was a completely heartbreaking book for the most part since it was difficult to read about Alex and his struggles with OCD and the bullying. Thankfully, I've never really been bullied, not like Alex, but there so was something so painfully real about the way it was written. Bottle spinning like my hat / I already lost my friends / Under all these strobe lights / Thanks for savin’ my night,” he sings. “I can’t remember what I said / Prolly something I’ll regret / ‘Cause we’re drippin’ in wine, yeah / We must’ve had a good time.”

Johnny Orlando is launching head first into the next chapter of his career, this time with the announcement of his long-awaited debut album All The Things That Could Go Wrong. The record is set to arrive via Republic Records and Universal Music Canada on August 19. I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a relaxing and easy read, which is something that I needed. Throughout the story, I felt sorry for Alex. He was getting bullied to the point where he was scared to report to any adults around. Then, as I learned more about Dan and what happened to his brother, Ben, I started to understand his aggressive attitude. Sometimes seeing your fear in writing gives you control over the fear rather than the other way around,” says author Eileen Bailey. Therefore, when you start putting the things you’re afraid of into words, it’ll be easier to talk yourself down from worrying about them so much.A timely story of courage and reminder of what we all share' Christopher Edge, author of The Many Worlds of Albie Bright
