For 13-18 years
Child genius Becky Bexley entices a group of her fellow university students to play a rowdy game in class for fun one day that has worried tutors coming to investigate what’s going on.
On another day, she and a group of other students have a long long discussion where they talk about such things as world leaders taking foolish risks, false rumours, and interviews with transsexuals, and tell stories about scams and broken friendships.
The discussion often becomes humorous though, as they tell each other funny news stories, make up jokes, and think up wacky ideas for fun.
MY REVIEW
Since I very started reading the Becky Bexley series, by the talented Diana Holbourn, she has become one of my favourite authors, as I never enjoyed a series so much as Becky Bexley.
Although this book is aimed at middle grade for 13-18, I absolutely adore reading the Becky Bexley series.
In, this funny novel, Student Fun and a Mammoth Discussion, Becky and her friends often had long discussions, on all types of different subjects. One discussion was about false rumours, when Becky Bexley, said she heard a rumour that one of the tutors were leaving, but Becky admitted she didn’t hear the whole conversation.
Becky Bexley is a child genius at university, made friends, even though there were an age gap of eight years between her and other students on her psychology and media studies course.
My favourite chapter was when Becky Investigates Some Disruptive Fun In the Psychology Department. I absolutely loved drama at school and wanted to become a drama teacher. So I loved the idea when Becky and the other students act out a scene during boredom waiting for their tutor.
While Becky and all of the other psychology students were waiting for a tutor to come and take their weekly seminars, Becky Bexley becomes part of, an imaginary acting out scene about Opera and heavy metal music. Where Becky is a pretend police woman, who pretends to tie up the Opera and heavy metal lovers, along with pretend psychiatric hospital staff. While they are all acting out scenes they are making a lot of noise yelling, and shouting. Becky and her fellow students, dragged the other students they pretended to be tied up out of the study room into the corridor, when they spotted a tutor, that wasn’t happy them making a noise and commotion.
Student Fun and a Mammoth Discussion, is extremely hilarious. I can’t wait to find out what Becky Bexley will get up to next.
