Me, My Brother and the Monster Meltdown

Chaos reigns pretty much sums up this adventure […] this is a madcap romp if ever there was one – Jill Bennett * Red Reading Hub *Me, My Brother and the Monster Meltdown is honestly one of the funniest children’s books I have read this year. […] The book mixes the humour of two children and a few Dad jokes (which helps the adults!). It is a fun and engaging read and full of humour. I would thoroughly recommend this to all children, especially children who are in a reading slump or struggle as this will definitely get them out of it! I am hoping there are going to be more in the series. – Lauren * ReadingZone *
