Boom! Reviews

"An explosive adventure" The Bookseller "A wildly energetic and anarchic adventure involving kidnaps and scooter rides, with the children trying to outwit the evil or incompetent adults (not terribly difficult). Great fun for young readers" -- Sally Morris Daily Mail "One to read aloud" -- Nicolette Jones The Sunday Times "Funny, pacey adventure that blends a fairly kitchen sink set of family dynamics with some utterly zany fantasy. There is a big whiff of Roald Dahl anarchy about it ... A crackling little story" -- Jill Murphy thebookbag.co.uk "A funny, exciting read" Carousel
