The Mystery of the Forever Weekend Award-winning author by Lisa Thompson (author) and Gemma Correll (illustrator)

A gripping, page-turning mystery adventure from the bestselling author of modern classic The Goldfish Boy
Cory dreads Sunday evenings. It’s school the next day, where a bully is picking on him and he’s struggling to keep up in class. The night before a Monday that will include a maths test and another lonely lunch break, Cory wishes that the weekend would never end… and when he wakes up the next day, time has reset itself to Sunday morning. This is amazing! He can lounge about all day watching TV, have pizza for dinner over and over again and play the lottery knowing which numbers will win big! But Cory soon longs for life to move on – can he break the time loop and bring the forever weekend to a close?
