It was clear from an early age that Dexter Procter was different.
He started speaking at four seconds old. By the age of three, he had 87 A-levels, from Afrikaans to Zoology.
And by ten, he was working as a paediatrician at Lilydale General Hospital.
Despite a loving but annoying family and a couple of good friends (Rupi and Otto), Dexter's always struggled to fit in. Add to this a mortal enemy (Dr Drake) and a major problem at his old school (all the teachers struck down with awful diarrhoea) – will Dexter be able to save his job, save the school and find his place in the world? (Spoiler alert: yes!)
A laugh-out-loud new series about the world's youngest doctor from the record-breaking Adam Kay and Henry Paker.
'Original, very funny, ultra-informative - and children will love all the disgusting parts.' Jacqueline Wilson
'From the brilliant mind of Adam Kay comes a story that redefines the 'junior' in 'junior doctor.' David Solomons
'If laughter truly is the best medicine, book this hilarious appointment with Dr Procter immediately.' David Baddiel
