Synopsis

WINNER OF THE 2014 UK PEOPLE'S BOOK PRIZE

My name is Simon Spittle and I think - no, I know, I murdered Miss Belcher. I don't carry a gun. Or a knife. Or even a toothpick, but yesterday, in French, I wished for her to be run over by a bus and, later that very day, she was. A big, red double-decker with yellow wheels and a picture of a clown on the bonnet. A Billy Smart's Circus bus.

Simon is very different to Isabella. He is all elbowy and clumsy. She, on the other hand, is elegant and cool. He's the school chess champ and has the IQ of a chemistry professor. She thinks flowers grow better if you feed them Bic Macs and play them Elvis songs. He has a 1/500 scale model of the Starship Enterprise NCC-1701 in his bedroom. She thinks it's a frying pan.

Isabella has a secret.

Simon, well, he IS the secret...

BILLY BOB BUTTONS was shortlisted for the RUBERY BOOK AWARDS and was the winner of THE 2014 UK PEOPLE'S BOOK PRIZE.
