Reviews

[Catherine · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a very funny book - in some ways it was better than book one, because we knew the characters and just got on with enjoying the story. Master 7 laughed a lot through it, particularly enjoying the line "He thinks with his fists and sits on his brain". :)
Highly recommended, especially for young boys.
