Time for another Little Badman adventure. This time, Humza, Umer & Wendy must face... THE UNDEAD. Welcome to Big School. Humza Khan – aka Little Badman, Eggington’s greatest rapper – might have finally met his match. Evil teacher geniuses & giant killer hamsters (see previous Little Badman adventures for details) are nothing compared to starting a new school. He’s already been out rap-battled by the school bully, laughed at by his classmates. Oh, & we haven’t even mentioned the ancient magical orb causing havoc & very possibly leading to world destruction. At least Humza has found someone to help with his homework. It’s just a shame this friend isn’t exactly... alive.

I’ve also faced deadly alien slugs, killer aunties & double maths. But now, I (and my best friend Umer I guess) face something even scarier – my dad! He’s pretty fed up with us being naughty, so he’s sending us away... to school. But this is not ordinary school.
