An exciting book, 16 May 2009My wife enjoyed it too, and so did three young people aged between 10 and 16...the real litmus test! Two of these are quite reluctant readers but after they started reading, they couldn't put the book down,finding it as much fun as I did. I can recommend it highly to anyone who can read independently, including adults- I'm over 50. More inexperienced children would enjoy having it read to them.

VERY GOOD READ, 9 Jan 2010

Hillarious and Gripping tale., 3 Jan 2009
Each chapter ends with a cliffhanger and makes you want to read more! This is good old fashioned story telling as it should be. The story is both fast paced and original and will leave you wanting to read more. Although it is aimed at children you will find yourself hooked and wanting to read more, the perspective of a three year old puts a refreshing spin on the story as you get to see situations from a childs view. I would recommend this book to any parent/child and any adult who enjoys a funny and gripping read.

Genius, 17 Dec 2008 The strange effect of the contamination of his dummy (pacifier) propels Joshua into an exciting roller coaster of an adventure. This is a humorous and refreshing read for fun loving adults and kids. Brilliant for those bedtime story moments. Be warned though you will still be reading this even after they've gone to sleep!! |
