This ninth "Jiggy McCue" story sees Jiggy entering an alternative reality when he hides in the school caretaker's broom cupboard. In this new world, Jiggy finds he has swapped places with a boy called Juggy who is about to go on a school trip - a trip to compete in the UK Extreme Ironing Championships.
Since his first novel came out in 1995, Michael Lawrence has published over forty books for children and young adults, plus a personal memoir, Milking the Novelty, which covers a year in his life as a young photographer in London, Paris, and at a holiday camp in Wales.
His fiction includes The Aldous Lexicon, a trilogy about chance and reality (published as The Withern Rise Trilogy in the US), which he has issued as Kindle ebooks. He has also re-edited the three volumes into one extensive ebook (equivalent to around 700 printed pages) under the title The Realities of Aldous U, a trailer for which can be viewed on YouTube.
Several of Michael's books have won awards or been shortlisted for awards in England and America.
