Summary

What would you do if you woke up one day to find that your best friend has become your worst enemy?

That's exactly what happens to 11-year-old Ryan in this comedy adventure from bestselling author, comedian, and presenter Danny Wallace, perfect for listeners age 8+ and fans of Stephen Mangan, Andy Griffiths, Jenny Pearson, Helen Rutter, David Walliams and David Baddiel.

Separated only by a garden fence, Ryan and Tom have been best friends since they were two years old. But while Ryan is looking forward to starting secondary school together, Tom doesn't seem to want anything to do him with anymore. Suddenly, he’d rather hang out with mean Minnie and horrible Simon!

Ryan sets out to repair their friendship...but everything he tries backfires spectacularly. So Ryan decides that there’s only one thing for it – he must exact terrible revenge on his ex-best friend. Cue: Operation Evil Genius.

There’s only one problem… every time Ryan tries to make Tom look BAD, he ends up looking GOOD. As it turns out, Ryan is terrible at being terrible!

Don’t miss this hilarious and heart-warming comedy adventure about the magic of true friendship from the bestselling author of The Day the Screens Went Blank.

One of the best 👌

It was a very good book, but the story was all over the place.

Evil genius parts that fails

I like how Ryan got his plan wrong every time
I don’t like that Tom got all the attention it should’ve been Ryan.
