The Unforgettable What's His Name by Paul Jennings
Even before all this happened I had never been like the other kids. I tried not to be seen. If I climbed a tree or hid among the bins, no one could find me. Where's What's His Name? they'd say. Then, one weekend, I got what I wanted. First, I blended in with things. But on the second day I changed. I mean, really changed. The hilarious story of a boy with an unusual problem, from children's book legend Paul Jennings. Includes fantastic look-and-find color illustrations.
