Vernon Bright and the Faster Than Light Show

Puffin ISBN 014130586x
Also available as an audiobook (BBC audiobooks)

When Bright blows up the school orchestra, the Head bans him from doing the lighting for the school play, Julius Caesar. He is only allowed to video it. After all, even Bright can't get into too much trouble with a video camera -can he?
Of course he can, especially when John's hamfisted rewiring turns the video gear into a device that can see several days into the future.
Dodgy Dave is quick to see the financial possibilities. But when the Faster Than Light Show starts to predict disaster -even death -the future doesn't look so rosy after all.

The 2Steves say...
"Steve Barlow was once in a production of Julius Caesar, playing Lucilius. Who? Exactly. He only had about ten lines, and six of those were cut. We also wrote about a school production (Romeo and Juliet this time) in our book Dream On! It's out of print in English, sadly, - but it's selling very nicely in Germany and Scandanavia, thanks for asking."

Other people say...
"...the authors have an obvious affection for the society of school, but their books are not only for laughs. Written with particular appeal to boys, they are grounded in extensive research."
