The Quigleys in a Spin Summary

The Quigleys in a Spin by Simon Mason

Five more stories about the irrepressible Quigleys (and including a surprise guest appearance from next-door neighbour's cat, Fatbrain). Will makes a huge effort to get on with the sullen Robinson Potts, an unwelcome visitor on the family's weekend away. Lucy desperately hopes that her birthday party will occur without mishap even though Dad is promising to make it an event to remember...and Mum gets stuck on the roof - with Fatbrain. In the fourth book of the series, Simon Mason reveals the charm and humour in the everyday life of an ordinary (yet unique) family. These are perfect stories for reading aloud, and for young children to read by themselves.

The Quigleys in a Spin Reviews

'Huge fun, It's reassuring too, and shows that even families who drive each other bonkers love each other' - Sunday Times 'A proper little novel for small people...Mason's prose is gently humorous, but he also gets at the often-unspoken truth of family life: that what can go wrong will go wrong, and that however much you plan, things seldom turn out as you expect' - Guardian 'The second book about the Quigleys is if anything funnier and more reflective of family realities than the first. The humour is all human foible-based, and so very warm and not at all brittle. The Quigleys are at large again; long may they roam' - The Horn Book
