Genius Kid is back with his best friend and neighbour Flea to tackle the humongous subject of . . . VIRUSES!
From the techy kind of virus that shut down computer mainframes and brings total panic
To the going viral global fame type of virus (that also creates total panic)
To the snotty variety of virus which creates a different sort of Must-go-to-bed now sort of panic . . .
Luckily GK and Flea are here to explain everything and nothing at all in the way that only they can! Here's hoping that they go viral too . . .
After graduating with a first class degree in advertising, graphic design and illustration in 1997, Jim Smith was spotted by the owner of a small coffee shop chain and brought in to fill the walls of their flagship store with his paintings. It was a three month contract; over twenty years years later, Jim is head of design at Puccino's Worldwide Ltd, now an international coffee shop franchise with stores across the world. He has won the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and Lollies Laugh Out Loud Book Awards and is shortlisted for the Lollies Illustrator of the Year Award.
