DOGBRAIN

They called him Dogbrain.

Big mistake.

Douglas "Dogbrain" Braine is eleven years old, dangerously brilliant, and scientifically incapable of staying out of trouble. His inventions? Questionable. His reputation? Disaster-prone. His attention span? Somewhere between "chaotic" and "completely missing."

But when Dogbrain accidentally mutates an ordinary garden snail into a six-foot-tall, turbo-charged, glow-in-the-dark gastropod, his life - and his sleepy British town - are turned upside down.

Meet Slimebolt.

The fastest, stickiest, most ridiculous escape vehicle in history.

And Dogbrain's ticket to the weirdest adventure on Earth.

Before he can say "accelerated molluscan evolution," Dogbrain finds himself on the run from:

✔️ Villainous secret agents with squid tattoos.

✔️ Grumpy neighbours with a decades-old cryptozoology grudge.

✔️ International science fairs (with a suspicious lack of slime-proof carpets).

✔️ The British government.

✔️ His long-suffering, sarcasm-powered older sister, Tina.

Together with Tina, a team of young misfit geniuses known as The Peculiars, and his turbo-powered snail, Dogbrain must:

✅ Outsmart the evil Squid Syndicate.

✅ Ride a giant snail through the suburbs (and accidentally Buckingham Palace).

✅ Win an international snail race.

✅ Survive exploding science fairs, rogue hats with artificial intelligence, and way too much custard.

✅ And prove to the world that genius - no matter how ridiculous - can save the day.

Fast-paced, laugh-out-loud funny, and packed with slime-fuelled action, Dogbrain: The Genius Who Rode a Snail is the perfect adventure for fans of:

✔️ Roald Dahl's Matilda

✔️ David Walliams' Billionaire Boy

✔️ Artemis Fowl

✔️ Diary of a Wimpy Kid (but with more mutant snails)

✔️ Netflix-style, cartoon-worthy chaos

✔️ Clean, family-friendly humour

✔️ Positive sibling dynamics

✔️ Encourages STEM thinking (and ridiculous invention ideas)

✔️ Empowers quirky, curious kids

✔️ Subtle messages about courage, friendship, and not underestimating the underdog (or undersnail)

✔️ Turbo-charged snail races

✔️ Exploding gadgets

✔️ Ridiculous villains

✔️ Witty banter and slime-fuelled chaos

✔️ An unlikely hero they can root for

Perfect for ages 8-12, reluctant readers, young inventors, and anyone who's ever wondered...

What would happen if your pet snail became the fastest thing on Earth?

✔️ Cinematic action.
