A gripping, page-turning mystery adventure from the bestselling
author of modern classic The Goldfish Boy
Cory is coming to dread having the Sunday Scaries. The kids at
school are picking on him because of his cheesy daytime TV presenter
father and he's struggling with lessons. Ahead of a Monday comprising
a maths test and another lonely lunchbreak, Cory wishes
that the weekend would never end... and when he wakes up the next
day, time has reset itself to Sunday morning. This is amazing!
He can re-watch his favourite football team win a big match and have
pizza for dinner - and do-over some less brilliant things, plus
play the lottery to win! But Cory soon gets frustrated with being
stuck in this time loop - he may win the lottery but the next
day never arrives when he can spend the money. He must break the
curse and return to normality - but how?
a wonderfully funny and imaginative twist on classic movie Groundhog
