Morris Gleitzman was one of my absolute favourite childhood authors - I even got his autograph! His books are light and easy to read and have a comedic value only Andy Griffiths could match.
This pairing with Paul Jennings, another favourite children's author of mine, wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be, but it's still not a bad read. 0143300245 My teacher read this to my class in grade 5 and safe to say, it was the coolest book back then. We couldn't get enough of it. Deadly! was unconventional, sort of crass and borderline wicked but that I suppose was what was so fun and intriguing about it. The best thing about this book though, was that it got kids interested in reading and I have fond memories of it. 0143300245 This totally holds up rereading as an adult more than a decade after my original read! My copy has my name and the year 2006 in it, which was when I was in year 4. My little sister is in year 4 this year and I gave it to her to read and she loves it too. 0143300245 How can I tell you about this story without making it sound awful? Okay, so there's this kid, he's in the forest, he's naked, forgotten his own name and... he's gotta take a dump real bad. There's this other kid, Pooper-scooper, who is intent on sifting through the first kid's poo. There's a lot of poo. And farts that squirt out something special. And there's a nudest colony with lots of jiggling, sagging, poking out bits.
Wait, there's another main character, she's normal... except her dad's probably a sex-addict and her mum has severe anger-management issues and the girl's stuck looking after her dad's love-child baby. At least until the gang of little kids kidnap them and whisk them off to the nudist colony.
Lots of action and laughs. I LOVED this story! Warning: Once you've read this novel, it will linger in your mind... every time you poo. 0143300245
bizarrely good 0143300245 It is difficult to surmise my feelings about this novel, all I can really say is that I thoroughly enjoyed this novel completely, it is amazingly written in a way that I could thoroughly picture and appreciate the world that was described.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a young adult fiction, mystery type book. 0143300245 Not exactly my taste when I was a young reader. 0143300245 A fun nostalgic read to get the reading back on track :) always a laugh and a joy to re-read these ones 😂 you sort of don’t realise how many adult jokes are slipped in 0143300245 A friend, who likes reading but hasn’t the time at the lately, asked if I had any book recommendations. After their child read what I’d suggested, I decided to kill two birds with one stone. I’ve been behind on my reading challenge and decided to chest a little by reading a few kids books that I could then recommend. Of all the ones I’ve read recently, this is the only one I didn’t enjoy. There wasn’t anything in specific wrong with it but it just didn’t interest me or make me laugh. So I’ve given this one 2*. 0143300245
