My son absolutely loved this book. He said it had a great storyline and was really funny. He has since read the second book Adam breaks the interne

My son enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to 10 year olds. It is a fun read with plenty of laughs. A huge hit with fans of You Tube.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. It was highly entertaining. The story follows Adam (and his funny antics) as he builds his YouTube channel. What would you do to be a YouTube sensation? Adam has a year to reach a million or risk losing everything. It’s a rollercoaster of high jinx and successes through to the lows of falling subscribers as he learns what it takes to reach his million.

OMG I loved this book. I did NOT see that ending coming. 5 stars and if I could give it more I would. Fantastic debut author and will be one-clicking everything he brings out. Amazing story.

This book was amazing, it was funny and I LOVED the illustrations soo much! It was so well written and although it’s targeted at children, I still thoroughly enjoyed this one! I loved the portrayal of the character Adam himself in this book and the relationship between him and his brother Callum was very realistic! I’m a fan of AdamB’s content and it’s great too hear about his journey in a different way through this book! This one was kindly gifted to me as an eARC via Netgalley so thank you ever so much, Bloomsbury and AdamB!! 🫶💕💕

It took a while to get to this book as I didn't know the author, but as soon as I mentioned the next book I was reading, almost all of my grandchildren asked why we had not read this before ! They all knew all about this author. It was one of those books when all of the children laughed at the same time (and I didn't get it) and I laughed at other bits. Overall a very well written funny book but better understood by the target audience than grandmas.

A superbly funny debut comedy story for 7 to 11 year olds. My kids could absolutely relate to the protagonist Adam, who dreams of becoming a YouTube star and making his millions, living the life of the rich and famous. He even has a plan to get there! Adam aims to get 1 million followers in one year in order to become a YouTube sensation and so begins the hilarity! Adam, who is presently poor in cash and friends, finds himself in the most ludicrous situations and these moments are captured by brilliantly funny black and white illustrations of James Lancett. His efforts all seemed doomed to failure, but he isnt ready to give up on his mission. A wonderful read full of fun,but above all heart and a clear message to not give up on your dreams. Hard work and determination make Adam a hero. Perfect for young comedy fans of books like David Baddiel or Greg James. #AdamWinsTheInternet #AdamB #Netgalley #Bloomsburychildrensbooks #comedyfiction #childrensbooks

Thank you to Netgalley and Bloomsbury Publishing Plc (UK & ANZ) for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This is a children's book. I started reading this with my 10-year-old son, who loves watching Blue Peter. Adam B, the author was a presenter on this show, until recently and is a YouTuber who, my son watches regularly.

As I say, we started reading it together until he decided the book was so good, he had to carry on without me, so he didn't have to wait for the rest.

At the start we wondered if this was a true story, but as it moved on after a couple of chapters realised, it was definitely fiction. We think the book would great be for anyone aged perhaps 7 plus, especially if you are a fan of BP or his YouTube channel.

Adam wins the internet is actually a book about Adam, with himself as the main character and with lots of laughs and lots of emotions is a thought-provoking enjoyable book for kids and early teens with some great graphics too.

My son was very excited to see that there will be a sequel coming soon and said he's definitely up for an early read of that too!!

Adam wants to get revenge on his school bully, but when his prank backfires and he goes viral as "Slimeboy", Adam thinks his life is over. However, with the help of a mysterious computer pop-up ad, he gets the chance to turn things around. Can Adam win people over and gain 1,000,000 subscribers within a year?

My boys (8) and I are enjoying reading this book together at night. They love to watch YouTube (although they weren't familiar with Adam) so the lingo in the book is very familiar to them. It's a little longer than I expected, and some of it doesn't really make sense to this elder millennial, but the kids are enjoying it and I've already pre-ordered a copy.

Adam Wins the Internet is a terrific hilariously funny story.. This is a touchingly human story, tremendously funny, glittering with authenticity and a wonderful thing to connect with. It is layered with so many diverse emotions - happiness, joy, excitement, shame, guilt, pride, love, loss - and all so apt for Adam.. He has a comfortable and interesting relationship with his mother and brother.. As a character, he is ever so funny and lovable. He wants to impact the world in this digital era and to help his mother. What is there not to like.? The graphics make this book even more of a joy to read. The pace is so appropriate, and it is an invitation to dream and hold on to what is possible against a backdrop of ups and downs. Everyone has a story and Adam tells his beautifully.

If you've read any of my other recent-ish book reviews, you'll already know that I start 'em all off in the same way - by saying that this (and every) book starts off with the full 5 stars and that I'm always hopeful that they will all still be stuck firmly in place by the time I close the back cover.

"Hilarious and heart-warming" eh?

Challenge accepted.

It takes a truly incredible book to even *start* to raise a genuine smile from me, so lets see if this genuinely tickles my funny-bone or if it's another one that has been mis-sold to me ;-)

I'm reading it on my Kindle and it's supposed to be illustrated but my past experiences of illustrations on my Kindle Paperwhite is either that they are too tiny to make out what they are supposed to be or they are cut off half-way through the illustration which annoys me and would frustrate the (usually child) reader so they would throw their Kindle across the room and never pick it up again. The first page seems promising though, so hopefully the publishers have been able to continue that throughout.

There are lots of spaces missing between words which makes it incredibly hard to read - I'm hoping that it's because I'm reading an ARC copy of it and that it's all fixed and tickety-boo by publication day.

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! The first illustration is perfect - it's silly, shows what the previous page described, I'm even starting to crack the outer shell of my funny-bone - could this be the first book in a very long time to make me smile, grin or even chuckle to myself? I can't remember the last book that genuinely did that, but at 1% of the way through this book I'm already starting to feel hopeful!

Another sign of a great book is that I let hot drinks go stone cold because I'm so lost in the world of the book characters. I've just made myself a hot drink... how hot will it be by the time I take my next mouthful of it?

Noooo! At only 3%, the first star is coming off 'cos of the use of those famous internet brands potentially without permission! I always hate it when a 5 star book unfortunately becomes a 4 star book because of potential trademark infringement, but I've done it with other books, so my sense of fair play is insisting that the star comes off this book too :-(

Chapter two was gooood! I'm really getting to know Adam and liking where his idea had come from - that takes guts but 'I believe in you Adam! You can do this!'

Oh dear... chapters three and four have made me feel even worse for poor old Adam than I did before.... my heart is breaking for the poor chap!

My hot drink is telling me that this is a great book 'cos of the barely-above-stone-cold temperature of it now.

This is a truly fantastic book and I'll be recommending it widely if it carries on like this!

Just finished chapter 6 and I'm debating with myself about whether I should feel sorry or amazed that he's already achieved his goal, but I'm only 19% of the way through so there's a loooong way to go yet, but I'm grinning, almost chuckling already which hasn't happened in too long so this book is already worth every penny you pay for it IMNSHO already!

What a truly fantastic book... it's got me buried deep into it and I don't know where the last couple of hours have gone but this is definitely a must-read by not just children but by adults too. It's a light, funny read and you will (if you're anything like me) find yourself rapidly deeply caring about Callum, Mum and especially Adam.

I hope Callum is OK - it's my bed-time and I'm pretty confidently predicting that I'll be dreaming about this book tonight lol

I'm still loving this book today too...

...it's all coming to a head and I hope Adam wins after what he's just discovered!

Wowsers! What an incredible book! I've just finished reading the ARC of this book and there's an "acknowledgments" section so I'm hoping beyond hope that there will be an acknowledgement to all those brands used throughout the book. If there *is* then it's a very solid 5 stars, but the version I've got hasn't got it in so I'm not gonna adjust the starage until I know for sure.

This is definitely a must-read book, just don't expect hot drinks to stay hot 'cos you'll be so absorbed in what you're reading that the time will just slip by. Same with iced drinks... the ice will melt between sips of that too. Basically buy this book and settle in for an awesome read.
