Brian Hobble isn't much of a writer--he's more of a soccer player. (And sometimes he's not much of a soccer player either!) But one day he borrows a pink Easyflow pen from Nathan Lumsdyke, during his favorite author's school visit, and suddenly he can't stop writing. Unfortunately for Brian, the pen only writes flowery, embarrassing love stories, even in his science test. Brian can't wait to give the weird pen back...until he realizes Cassandra Wyman is a lot more interested in writing than she is in soccer.

Richard Tulloch grew up in Melbourne, Australia, where he studied law and education and worked as a taxi driver, radio announcer, and theater director. He is a full-time writer of books, plays, screenplays, and television shows for children, including over 150 episodes of Bananas in Pajamas, which has reached an audience of hundreds of millions around the world. Over the past ten years, he has performed his one man show, Story Man, across worldwide theaters, libraries, and schools. He lives part of the year in Sydney, Australia, and part of the year in the Netherlands with his wife, Agnes, and has two children.
Grade 5-8–When soccer superstar Brian Hobble borrows a pink Easyflow pen from his nemesis Nathan Lumsdyke, he is suddenly blessed with creative writing skills. Unfortunately, the pen is only capable of writing sappy romantic fiction, even when used on a science test, and he's forced to read it aloud. (It turns out that the pen belongs to Nathan's mother, a well-known romance writer.) Word spreads about Brian's supposed talent and he is chosen to be in a Special Interest Writing Group. He then has to figure out how to gain the admiration he craves from the brainy girl he has a crush on and not disappoint his favorite author, who selected him for the group. Though there are no surprises here, readers will want to know how the boy gets out of his predicament. The black-and-white sketches are humorous, as are Brian's interpretive definitions of select words at the start of each chapter. An interesting premise couched in a contemporary, comical narrative.–Emily Rodriguez, Alachua County Library District, Gainesville, FL
