It's the UK's brainiest kids ... trying not to get brained! Young Marsham needs to survive a TV show competition where they don't just test trivia knowledge, they test everything... Marsham Lucas is really smart, but he hides this fact to avoid being taunted at school. His sister signs him up for his favourite TV show, "Britain's Smartest Kid", and he only agrees to compete after he realizes that she's misspelled his name and he can go as someone else, in disguise. But the show has surprises in store, including the fact that they'll test for many kinds of intelligence - physical intelligence included, so all the rounds will be held on ice skates! And at least one of Marsham's fellow contestant kids is an evil genius who will stop at nothing to win... Can Marsham outsmart him and claim the prize, without breaking his neck on the ice? Author Ivor Baddiel is a comedy writer who has worked extensively on TV reality contest shows - so he has written this hilarious backstage mystery novel from experience! Includes lively illustrations by James Lancett throughout. Perfect for fans of shows like X Factor, Britain's Got Talent, The Voice, Child Genius, Dancing on Ice - and readers of Britain's Biggest Star ... Is Dad?
