Found it, it's "Mad Gadget, Gadget Mad"!
- I read it somewhere in-between 1995-2000 UK
- Aimed at young teenagers/children
- Hardback I think
- Picture book, but more like a seek and find book in that there was a lot of detail in the illustrations to find
- The title of the book may have been the kid's name
- Very detailed drawings of the kid's rooms in his house e.g. bedroom, kitchen, lots of small details
- No plot really, just drawings
- Main character: Genius inventor kid, possibly with red spiky hair, his parents appeared too I think
- "Angular" drawing style, hand drawn
- The drawings' focus were the kid's inventions/gadgets, like his high-tech bed, inventions for his bathroom, kitchen, I'm pretty sure one was a wave machine for his bath
- I think one of the drawings was of the kid's father reading a newspaper in the kitchen at breakfast
- There may have been a list of things to find like Where's Wally
- He had a dog that appeared too, the dog may have had speech bubbles
- There was a secret code that appeared in places that you could decode for hidden messages
- Relatively short book, maybe 30 pages
- The kid may have been a spy but I'm probably misremembering that
Thank you!
