Critics Review
An explosive adventure
An explosive adventure * The Bookseller *A wildly energetic and anarchic adventure involving kidnaps and scooter rides, with the children trying to outwit the evil or incompetent adults (not terribly difficult). Great fun for young readers * Daily Mail *One to read aloud * The Sunday Times *Funny, pacey adventure that blends a fairly kitchen sink set of family dynamics with some utterly zany fantasy. There is a big whiff of Roald Dahl anarchy about it … A crackling little story * thebookbag.co.uk *A funny, exciting read * Carousel *
