"Danny Wallace and the Centre of the Universe" is a true life short story by British author and TV personality Danny Wallace. It is one of the "Quick Reads" series of books published for World Book Day in partnership with the BBC to encourage more people to read.

The name of the town - Wallace - convinces Danny he must go.
