Bloomsbury presents Something I Said written and read by Ben Bailey Smith.

‘Fantastically, gloriously funny’ Katherine Rundell, author of The Explorer

‘Snort-out-loud charm’ Observer
‘Fantastic! Pitch perfect comedic voice’ Katie Tsang, author of Dragon Mountain

From comedian, actor, rapper and screenwriter Ben Bailey Smith comes a blazingly funny, big-hearted story about family, friendship and how far one boy will go to get a laugh. Perfect for fans of David Baddiel and Frank Cottrell-Boyce.

For thirteen-year-old Carmichael Taylor, life is one big joke – in a good way. He just can't understand why no one else seems to find everything as funny as he does.

When Car is filmed stumbling into performing a piece of hilarious stand-up at the school talent show – targeting his family, school and friends – the footage ends up creating international infamy. But with the promise of fame and fortune comes trouble, and it's up to Car to decide what or who he's willing to risk to chase his comedy dream.

Get ready to laugh at life with this heart-warming, unashamedly honest and hilarious look at family, friendship and what really matters.©2021 Ben Bailey Smith (P)2021 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Growing Up & Facts of Life Humorous Fiction Literature & Fiction Social & Life Skills

Critic Reviews

Carmichael is a brilliantly relatable lead on a very funny and often poignant journey of self-discovery
Fantastically, gloriously funny. I loved this book; it gave me such joy at every single page
This wise and warm book is fat because it’s composed of equal parts plot and comedic riffing, all of which feels essential to its snort-out-loud charm
Witty and touching, this book is ideal for 10-plus readers who love wordplay and wild, looping tangents
A hilarious and original story. Carmichael Taylor is the stuff of legends - he's my new favourite character
I absolutely LOVED it. A gloriously heartfelt tale wrapped up in first class comedy. I lost count of the number of times I laughed until I cried!
In this charmingly vivid portrayal of family and the ups and downs of school life, Ben has included all the star ingredients for a funny, touching read which will really resonate with teens. With 13 year old Car in class you’re def never getting bored – I thoroughly recommend it!
An original concept, spot-on observations of family life and friendships, and snappy dialogue give this book a fresh feel. Best of all, it’s very, very funny!
Fantastic! Pitch perfect comedic voice
For a fast paced, funny romp, Ben Bailey Smith – otherwise known as rapper Doc Brown – has you covered ... a fun read
If you’re looking for a laugh, look no further than Something I Said
