About this listen

Brought to you by Puffin.

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

Critic reviews

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'. Meet ten-year-old Dexter Procter, the NHS’s most precocious and pint-sized practitioner. He's got a stethoscope, a backpack full of band-aids and he's on a mission to flip the medical world on its head, one check-up at a time. (David Solomons)
I laughed so much my sides split open. Is Doctor Procter available? (Jen Carney, author of The Accidental Diary of B.U.G.)

Good story overall, but the (thankfully brief) narration by the child was very hard to understand and broke the flow of the story. would ha e been better to stick to the main narrator

minor narrator not as good

I really loved this book because it was humerus's and full of disgusting facts a really good make.
Dexter was a very descriptive character with Lot's of differences. I think this is a book for 8 to 10 because it may be long but a very joyfully read. Also the story was a book I would really recommend this book if you have just Finished a book and looking for an other one to read.
Adam Kay is matching up to C.S.Lewis and J.K.Rowling. A really good book.

One of the all time best

I liked when Dexter keeps on correcting Adam Kay. It was funny. I can't believe that docter Drake deliberately tried to get Dexter to loose his job

when doctor procter got his job out.
