If you want a funny hilarious book, then this is the book for you.   It’s called ........ ‘Yeah Right!!!’ with a wild  dog, a girl who marries a computer, a boy with a mad crazy uncle, a town invaded with worms and Part two of the mystery of the exploding chickens.

‘Yeah Right’ has an easy to read print and it is suitable for ages 8+. If you’re starting to worry about the language it’s fine.  The layout is just like any other book.

If you asked for my opinion, I'd read it by yourself but you could read ‘Yeah Right!’ to someone else.    The pictures are illustrated by an Australian illustrator.  The author is also Australian. The author is called Dave Currall. 

It’s just a book that makes you laugh so much your head will fall off.  Boys and girls would both like the book ‘Yeah Right!’ ‘Yeah Right!’ is such an excellent book anybody would want to read it.

WARNING DO NOT READ IF CHEERFUL okay?  ‘Yeah Right!’ is a really really really really really really REALLY good book. Now here’s a bit of advice: read ‘YEAH RIGHT’ -  it’s excellent, great, fantastic and brilliant at the same time.  Read it!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, right! is a collection of five stories put into one hilarious book. In 'A dog called Poo', Katie has her hands full when he decides to capture an unwanted dog that does huge poos on her lawn. 'A very weird family' is about Barney and his strange, weird sister who decides she has met her one true love. 'The worms that turned' shows one town's anger against its mayor expressed in huge, 20m, 200 kg worms! 'I had a feeling' is when Dylan's Uncle Kev is very mentally ill but Dylan has to find out the hard way, watching it all unfold before his eyes. And 'The mystery of the exploding chickens, part 2' is a follow-up to the first instalment in Currall's first book 'As if!' Peter and his mum notice that strange things are happening to the chickens.

This is definitely a comedy, suitable for 8-12 year-olds. It is easy to read, with large print. I would give it 8 out of 10.
