I'm a teacher and need a good book to read with my class of 8 year olds. Can anyone think of one that is about travel or holidays? It has to be a good read cos I'll get bored if it's not!

It's about a little boy who lives in Australia and has to go to Britain and live with his boring aunt and uncle because his brother is terminally ill with lukemia. Sounds heavy, but it is quite a funny book and gets them to think! (Bit of Citizenship thrown in for good measure too!)
in the late 70's, early 80's there was a series of books called 'choose your own adventure'
there was 100's of titles to choose from. as schoolkids we loved them as our teacher used to let the class vote as to which way the story went ( you get a choice after each chapter) you will find them on ebay and the cost pennies now.
There is a series that is sort of stupid but funny. They're called Wayside Stories from Wayside School. There is also Wayside School is getting Stranger (I'm not sure if that is what it's called) and Wayside School is Falling Down. They are really funny books, but I don't know if you'd get bored. Or you could read Harry Potter.
