The first book in the brilliant Roald Dahl Funny Prize winning BARRY LOSER series. Perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Tom Gates and Dennis the Menace.

I’ve never minded that my name’s Barry Loser because my coolness has always cancelled it out, but ever since Darren Darrenofski joined school with his horrible little crocodile face he’s been completely ruining my life about it.

I am not a Loser is my first ever book. It’s all about me trying not be a loser and getting back at Darren Darrenofski for being so annoying. It’s really keel, and there’s a drawing on almost every page! (Keel is how I say ‘cool’ by the way).
