Reviews / Votes
A brilliantly funny story about an amazingly misbehaving boy that comes with almost as many crazy, comical illustrations as there are words. * Lancashire Evening Post * Fantastically funny and delightfully disgusting time-travel fiction with hilarious black-and-white illustrations by Lizzie Finlay. * Lovereading4kids * Funny, clever, brilliant - I love these books! * Dermot O'Leary * If you haven't come across Compton Valance before and you're a fan of Wimpy Kid, Captain Underpants and their ilk, this is a new hero to get stuck into. * Manchester Evening News * The crazy plotline, eccentric characters and witty footnotes and author comments had me laughing out loud... Cool illustrations and design make these ideal for reluctant readers but honestly everyone will enjoy this excellent series. * Lovereading4kids.co.uk *More details
