Hunky Dory

Hunky Dory - Thryft
Hunky Dory - Thryft

Boy struggles with girls while digging up dinosaurs.

Hunky Dory could be a good read for children who enjoy stories with relatable characters and humor. The book's unique feature is its focus on the trope of a boy being chased by girls, but with a twist - the boy would rather be left alone to pursue his passion for paleontology. The story also explores friendship dynamics and the confusion of growing up. Overall, it's a fun and lighthearted read for kids.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A classic Jean Ure story for girls AND boys, about a boy who’s driving girls wild… Dorian Jones is an 11-year-old boy who is having ‘terrible trouble with girls’. They just won't leave him alone. Girls at school and his annoying younger sisters' friends have massive crushes on him, but Dory's passion is for dinosaurs and he is happiest excavating his back garden. His best friend at school is Aaron and his best friend out of school is a girl called the Herb. How will Dory stop girls throwing themselves at him? Why is Aaron holding hands with Sophy Timms? And why is the Herb acting so strange around Dory all of a sudden…
