Niteracy Hour Summary

Niteracy Hour by John Dougherty

WHAT A LOUSE! Jim is a head-louse, newly-hatched from a nit on Gregory's head. But as Gregory is a good listener and it's 'in his blood', Jim's breakfast turns him into a good listener too and suddenly school storytime changes from Literacy Hour to Niteracy Hour. And can Jim help Gregory do something about Duncan, the class bully? He's the real louse in the class-

Niteracy Hour Reviews

"Witty repartee and extraordinary adventures . . . Dougherty has created an appealing combination of imagination, gross-out factor, classroom drama and humour. The illustrations are a perfect accompaniment of simplicity and silliness. Young confident readers will be delighted by this very "lousy" adventure and eager for a future sequel" * Armadillo *
"A book which could acquire cult status" * The School Librarian *
"This book is unique . . . Its appealing layout, large text and its simple yet effective black and white illustrations work very well. It's a great example of the quirky humour that younger readers enjoy" * Children's Books Ireland *
"A delightfully offbeat view of school life" * Junior *
"Parents my squirm at the subject matter but there's no denying that this is a hilarious story" * South Wales Argus *
