New school. New rules. Same Stickboy Steve.
Halewood Academy has rules for everything. It has warning signs, strict teachers, mysterious corridors, detention threats and enough serious faces to make fun feel illegal. Then Stickboy Steve arrives with the Chaos Crew - and the whole system starts sweating.
In Halewood Academy Havoc, Steve, Dean, David, Diago, Max and Chase face their biggest school challenge yet. Substitute teachers appear at exactly the wrong time. Detention starts to feel like a dungeon. Corridors turn into disaster zones. Classrooms become mission headquarters. School mysteries get stranger, rules get louder, and every attempt to stay out of trouble somehow creates even more trouble.
But this time, the chaos is not just about pranks and laughs. The lads have to learn when to joke, when to help and when to stand up for each other. Steve may be the king of wild ideas, but even he discovers that being a proper mate means knowing when the fun has gone too far - and having the courage to put things right.
With huge school-based set pieces, fast comedy, friendship, consequences and full-throttle junior fiction energy, Volume 4 pushes the series into bigger, bolder, blockbuster territory. It is funny, chaotic, visual and packed with the kind of short, punchy chapters that keep children turning the pages.
A perfect read for ages 7-11, especially for fans of funny school stories, comic adventure, friendship crews, prank-filled chaos and fast-paced books for reluctant readers.
Rules? Boring. Adventure? Bring it on. Bamboo Code? Always.
