Summary

Taken from the notebooks of the enigmatic and ultra-cautious dangerologist Docter Noel Zone, DANGER IS EVERYWHERE is a brilliantly funny handbook for avoiding danger of all kinds.

DOES IT WARN YOU ABOUT WHAT TO DO IF A SHARK COMES UP OUT OF THE LOO WHILE YOU ARE SITTING ON IT? Yes, it does.

AND WHAT TO DO IF A VOLCANO ERUPTS UNDERNEATH YOUR HOUSE? After you’ve made sure it’s not a neighbour’s barbecue, this book will let you know exactly how to deal with it.

Laugh-out-loud

I dislocated my jaw laughing – Eoin Colfer, author of Artemis Fowl228⁄10 - That’s an understatement. – William, age 10Wicked illustrations that will help you tackle silly dangers. Made me laugh out loud and I know my friends at school will love it! – Robyn, age 8Awesome jokes that made me laugh out loud … one of the funniest books I have read. – Isla, age 9I loved it because it is full of hilarious pictures … such as TEPOC - the Emergency Page Of Calm. Make a copy of this page and show it to your Mum when she is getting stressed! – Ross, age 10Loved it! Really enjoyed it - favourite chapter was the danger pets – Jennifer, age 7This book is very good for boys as it contains scary and rude things… ! – Tomasz, age 9Brilliantly silly * Sunday Express *A star turn that will amuse smart seven-year-olds, 17-year-olds, and, in our experience, 47-year olds … well-paced and funny throughout * Time Out London *A surreal, daft and funny book … A bracing satirical sideswipe at today’s health-and-safety culture, aimed at kids who’ll get the irony and relish the silliness. – Financial Times
