Fantastically-illustrates two stories from the second series of the iconic Australian television series. A crime that no more were made.

!!!
There is a Round the Twist comic book, based off some of my favourite childhood books and my absolute favourite childhood tv show!
!!!
My copy was given as a gift and SIGNED to me because apparently that's just what Paul Jennings does when you order off his site, because he's amazing.
!!!
You may be able to tell I was slightly excited by this. The ISBN and cover match the book shown here but the description is completely off- this is a comic adaptation of two of the weirdest stories (Pink Bow Tie and Nails). I can't seem to find any information about the other 25 in this series alluded to on the back but if I do I will obsessively buy and collect them all because Paul Jennings was my hero. My disturbing, hilarious, disgusting, sometimes nightmare inducing hero.
