Reviews / Votes
Now that's what I call a happy ending -- Nicola Smyth * Independent * With a fast moving narrative and unexpected plot twists, this is an ideal story to tempt reluctant readers. The illustrations are lively and humorous, the chapters short, with plenty of dialogue and an abundance of cliff hangers, and the dramatic conclusion leaves room for a sequel. Great fun -- Claire Larson * ReadPlus.com *More details
