Colin isn't having a very good year. Sent to visit relatives in England because his brother has been diagnosed with cancer, he hatches a plan to list the help of the Queen of England. He is certain that she can help him find a doctor who will cure his brother. Needless to say, enlisting the help of royalty is a difficult task. It isn't until he has failed to break into Buckingham Palace and begins to haunt the corridors of hospitals looking for someone who can help him find a cure that he gets the help he needs. The "help" does not come from a physician, but from a man he finds sobbing in the street for his friend who is dying of AIDS. In the relationship that forms between this unlikely pair, Colin discovers that being there for his brother is more important than any cure and that Queens are not always royalty.

Morris Gleitzman is the best Australian author ever. His books are so realistic in a warped sort of way. Two weeks with the queen is about a boy called colin who is sent to england to stay with his aunt, uncle and cousin. While he is there he tries to find a doctor who can help his brother who is dying of cancer. All Morris Gleitzman's books are really cool. I should know, I've read them all about 3 times. I recommend this book for people between the ages of 9 and 14. Read it today you'll love it!

Colin's parents don't know how to explain what's going on with his brother. He was too sick too eat their Christmas dinner, and Colin quickly learns there is a more serious problem. That problem is called cancer, and this Australian family and their doctors can do nothing to save the boy. Colin's parents decide that he would be better off in London, with his Aunt and Uncle where he won't have to see his brother suffer. Colin disagrees, but he knows that if he can get to London, maybe the Queen will send her best doctor to cure his brother. After a couple of thwarted trips to Buckingham Palace and a trip to the finest hospital in London, Colin is feeling a bit useless. No one seems to want to help his brother. Then he meets a new friend,Griff,who helps him to understand the importance of being with the person you love when they are ill. Griff teaches Colin through example, as his partner suffers from cancer and the AIDS virus. Learning about relationships and the importance of supporting those you love helps Colin to accept his brother's forthcoming death. Colin realizes that the way he can most help his brother is by goin home to be by his side till the end.

Hi am Robin Gustavs Son , Puppy Fat is a great book to read. Its a great book for kids aswell as adults because its a book for the family to laugh about. When i was reading this book its was so true it happens in the world around us. I rate it myself 5 stars because Morris Gleitzman is a great author and has wrote many good books for kids and adults. I hope anyone that has read this book agrees with me and i hope you will enjoy it as i did when i was reading this great book.

This book was really a load of rubish and I don't know why people have raved over it. It's boring and is really a book for quite a young age group. Half the characters in it are really dumb for their age. It's not very good at all.

This story is about a girl named Rowena Batts that can't talk. Her father is a apple farmer. Even if she thinks he is the best dad in the world she thinks his shirts are ruining his chances of love,and that his singing voice is ruining her friendship,and she'll stop driving his trator if he doesn't pull his head in.

Mr. Glietzman, Please write more books just like this one. I think the characters are funny. The story is interesting.

The book was about a girl named Rowena Batts who was born mute so she used sign language and writing to comunicate. Rowena was given a Cockatoo which had been abused by its previous owner a boy named Darren Peck. The Cockatoo was quite distressed when he was given to Rowena. Rowena didn't like the cocky much at first because it contiued to destroy the house but over time she grew to love it.

I think that it is a really funny book and the thing that Sticky says like 'Andrew's been sick in the fridge' makes it really funny. This is the third book that I have read by this author and it's the best yet. I am saving up my pocket money to buy more!

It is about a boy who tries to cheer up his parents. His parents were misery guts which means depressed. They were not able to make money in England. He tried again and again and again to cheer them up. One of his schemes had disastrous results. Keith tries to find a way to persuade his parents to go to Australia where he believes they will be happy. Who knew that that Australia had crocodiles, poisonous jelly fish, and lots of other dangerous creatures? Read it to find out what happens next. This was a very fun and humorous book!

This book was about a 12 yr old boy called Keith he was trieing to stop his parents from fighting he tried everything from painting his mum's car to painting his house he even ran away and made a fortune in a Opal mine.None of it worked and his s Split now he is just dielling with it and he painted both his rooms tropical and injoying it. This book took places in Queensland.
