`An irresistibly fun-tastic tale that's virtually guaranteed to keep youngsters reading, chuckling and desperately waiting for the next book in the series.' * Independent Weekly *
'It has humour that is just off centre enough to appeal to children as well as a few pearls of wisdom thrown into the mix.
