Mega Cheese Meltdown (Dyslexia-friendly) - Ben Davis

Jamie's life changes with one click. A ridiculous photo of him
eating a cheese baguette is put on the school website, and suddenly
everyone is laughing.

At school.

At home.

Everywhere.

He is no longer just Jamie - he is Cheese Boy.

The joke spreads fast. People share it, print it and stick it
up for others to see. Jamie feels trapped.

His older brother, Simon, sees this as his chance to get rich,
dragging Jamie into plans that only make things worse.

Jamie tries to hide. He tries to fight back. He even tries to
join in the joke. But nothing works for long.

Then, as quickly as it started, the world moves on.

This funny and thoughtful story shows how viral fame can feel
huge - but does not last forever. A relatable read about friendship,
confidence, and knowing when it is time to switch off and be
yourself again.

Every story starts with an open book.
