From The Hundred-Mile-an-Hour Dog to karate princesses and hot cross bottoms, there's a Jeremy Strong story to suit every child's sense of humour. Jeremy's readers range from 7 to teen, perfect for fans of Roald Dahl and Andy Stanton. Streaker was so gobsmacked she leaped into the air as if she had a pogo stick attached to each leg. KER-POING! Streaker runs like a jet-propelled hurricane, which could cause problems when she enters the local dog show. She has to do well or she'll get into trouble with the local police...and Trevor will get into trouble with horrible Charlie Smugg - again! Award-winning Jeremy Strong has written many wacky books for children aged 7-teen, including My Dad's Got an Alligator and My Brother's Famous Bottom. Most of which are illustrated by Nick Sharratt, who also illustrates for Jacqueline Wilson! The Hundred-Mile-An-Hour Dog is back causing more chaos and getting into more trouble in The Hundred-Mile-An-Hour Dog, Lost! The Hundred-Mile-An-Hour Dog, Wanted! The Hundred-Mile-An-Hour Dog, Christmas Chaos for the Hundred-Mile-An-Hour Dog and The Hundred-Mile-An-Hour Dog Goes for Gold - guaranteed to have you laughing your socks off!

A humorous and well written sequel to the original hundred mile an hour dog novel. I read it to my year 3 class and they thoroughly enjoyed it. I would recommend to teachers and parents for a funny book to read to their children.
This book is a highly entertaining, humorous read from start to finish. Suitable for children between ages 7-9, the book has multiple laugh-out-loud moments and is a very straightforward, easy read. The plot is simple and very easy to follow, with characters that are amusing albeit quite one-dimensional. This book would be perfect to read aloud, there are multiple moments which use punctuation for dramatic effect and witty similies and metaphors which are bound to make a class giggle. Overall, I would recommend this book to someone looking for an easy and enjoyable read.
Slightly more in depth than some of the previous Jeremy Strong entries (but not by much). These are essentially very light, mildly amusing tales but you know what, my youngest son loves them and in between reading the heavier books like Harry Potter they offer the right dose of light relief. Plus he's a bit obsessive about reading them all (I can't imagine where he gets that trait from?!).
Trev, Tina and Streaker were all back again with more mischief. Miss 7 thought it was hilarious & loved the slightly rude & funny bits. It's very similar to the first story but that was part of the charm because they were people we were interested in.
