Radio Boy by Christian O'Connell

Spike hosts a show on a hospital radio station only after getting fired as his show isn't very popular, he finds out he's being replaced by Graeme's gardening hour show!

Feeling down as radio is his passion, a dedicated member of his schools A/V club alongside friends Holly and Archie and encouraged by Mr Taggard his teacher, he sets up his own radio station from his shed at home thanks to his dad's credit card and permission.

Up against the school radio show which is pathetic as the head masters son runs it with no passion, Spike uses his pseudonym Radio Boy and it rockets him to popularity amongst the pupils even when he starts to let it all go to his head and demand no more homework and a protest that suddenly turns on its head to make them hunt Radio Boy and find out his true identity!

Full of hilarious antics, kooky characters including the headmaster and Graeme the gardener the book is a unique children's read with regular children as the protagonists. We witness all the antics and challenges Spike and his friends face and I hope it inspires future radio hosts and dj's as Spike makes it super fun!
