He heads home and notices the subtle changes around him – the headless, plastic flamingo that he broke in a neighbour’s garden now has a head, the front gate he broke five years ago is now fixed… It was so rewarding to gently create this strange, changed world around him.

The Day I Was Erased by Lisa Thompson | Goodreads

Roaming the town with his beloved pet dog Monster (who he rescued as a puppy from being run over) as a way to escape his parents’ constant sniping at home, he’s a menace to the neighbours and teachers at school.A thoughtful, interesting middle grade that crosses into several genres and does a great job in all of them. And Maxwell does some pretty awful things at school, culminating in actions that make Maxwell wish that he’d never been born.

The Day I Was Erased | Book reviews | RGfE - Reading Groups

Rauf, the award-winning and best-selling author of The Boy at the Back of the Class , comes another incredible story, told with humour and heart. I know that time in the classroom is precious and sometimes reading can get forgotten, but I think just reading to them for 10-15 minutes a day can have a profound effect. He’s a total menace to his teachers and big sister, but has a soft side, too: he rescued his dog, Monster, from being run over and checks on his elderly neighbour after school.This book reminded me of some of the books written by Andrew Norriss so you might enjoy this if you liked his books. Our Reading Den is a place for you and your child to discover and share books, find new authors and explore stories. I also made sure we saw his softer side early on so he quickly pops round to Reg’s to make him a cup of tea! Maxwell's parents are not happy - to an adult reader it's pretty obvious they're 'staying together for the kids' - and Maxwell's behaviour, particularly at school, is affected by it. Here is a quick description and cover image of book The Day I Was Erased written by Lisa Thompson which was published in 2019-1-3.
