The Very Worst Ever First Day, Worst Day is a hilarious and relatable chapter book for young readers who have ever felt unlucky or embarrassed at school. The book follows the misadventures of [REDACTED], a boy who tries to keep his identity and school secret because of his bad luck. He hopes that his first day at a new school will be a fresh start, but things quickly go wrong as he faces one disaster after another.
The book is written in a witty and engaging style, with stickers covering the protagonist’s name and face throughout the pages. The illustrations by Amy Jindra add to the humor and charm of the story, capturing the expressions and emotions of the characters. The book also has a positive message about overcoming challenges, making friends, and finding humor in difficult situations.

The Very Worst Ever First Day, Worst Day is a fun and entertaining read that will make kids laugh out loud and sympathize with the unlucky hero. It is the first book in The Very Worst Ever series by Andy Nonamus, and I look forward to reading more of his stories. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys humorous and realistic fiction for children.
