The Homework Catastrophe

Archie Parker has promised to stay out of trouble. Milo Bennett has invented a machine to make homework less confusing.

For seven minutes, everything goes beautifully.

Then a triangle needs an interview. A spoon needs a scarf. And the strange worksheets keep travelling even after the machine stops.

With Zara asking better questions, Oliver worrying about one small mistake and Ruby pointing out the obvious, Archie must discover how a helpful idea became a school-wide headache.

The Homework Catastrophe is the second Chaos Files adventure by Raj Forhad: an original illustrated British school comedy for readers aged 8-12. It tells a complete story, with recurring friends from Archie Parker and the Assembly Chair Fiasco.

Inside: twenty chapters, expressive black-and-white scenes, doodles, incident logs, Chaos Ratings, four character comic strips, extra visual gags, optional reader missions, four visual bonus activities and an illustrated Word Factory with twelve playful words to try.

On Kindle, enjoy the drawing activities by imagining, describing or drawing on separate paper.
