    About this ebook

    From million-copy bestselling author David Baddiel comes a laugh-out-loud and inspiring new adventure for all readers of 8 and up that is ahead of its time – 1,001 years ahead, to be precise…

    The year is 3020.

    Pip@256X#YY.3_7 is lonely and bored: she goes to virtual school on her G-Glasses, she only has a talking cat and parrot to hang out with, and she can’t even leave her LivingSpace due to the extreme heat and floods outside.

    Until the day that Pip explores a glowing ring in a lab and finds herself in a warehouse, in 2019.

    Where she meets boy-inventor Rahul – who is also lonely and bored.

    Together, Rahul and Pip are no longer lonely. But they have a whole load of new problems, including hiding talking animals from Rahul’s parents, and finding a way back to the future.

    Plus – just maybe – saving the world…

    Future Friend is a terrifically entertaining time-slip adventure that combines action, laugh-out-loud humour and the importance of friendship, in a story that asks the question – what would happen if your best friend came from the future?

      One thing that we should never be, as knitters, is cold. As I write this, it’s a bright day – there’s even a hint of sunshine as I look out of the window – but it’s a bit nippy out there and I’m wearing ‘All The Layers’. I’ve had my hat and mittens o
