A few things you should know about Ferris Foster:
1. He’s the cartooning genius behind ASTOUNDOG (star of The Hoot, available exclusively in his school playground)
2. His best friend is his actual dog, Aldo who is anything but astounding
3. He’s had 13 foster brothers and 8 foster sisters and now he’s about to meet his new foster sister, Tia, for the first time
4. His NEMESIS is his totally annoying neighbour Destiny Dean!
When Destiny boasts about videos of her dog, Princess Foo-Foo, going viral, Ferris foolishly claims that Aldo can easily become a BIGGER internet star.
There's just one problem: Aldo has about as much talent as a teaspoon.
Then Ferris and Tia accidentally film Aldo doing what looks like an amazing trick . . . will Aldo finally live up to the name of his comic book alter-ego and wow the world with his skills or is this about to be the biggest EPIC FAIL ever?
Perfect for fans of Danny Wallace, Liz Pichon and Katie Kirby - buckle up, you’re in for a dog-tastic adventure, packed with comic strips and cartoons!

Reviews
Funny, heartfelt and inclusive - a brilliant read! As the owner of a very average dog myself (she won’t do ‘roll over’ no matter how much I try to teach her!) - I obviously loved Aldo and his rivalry with Princess Foo Foo! A really fun story with Jen’s signature funny illustrations - your kid’s gonna love it!Ferris's family are fantastic! I loved his average but adorable dog, his mums (their make-do-and-mend attitude reminded me of me and my partner!), his wise grandpa and many foster-siblings, who remain part of the family even once they have left the family home. All the characters are real and recognisable and a joy to spend time with.
This book is warm-hearted, accessible and laugh-out-loud funny. It shows that family is bigger than biology - it's about who you love and who you look out for - and there's room for everyone!
