Easy sentences and vivid illustration make it workable for children reading on their own, and there is nothing in it that a younger listener would find upsetting. At a glance: • A vintage shop venture shared by Geronimo and cousin Trap • One unusual jacket that attracts exactly the wrong interest • Twists kept gentle enough for younger listeners • Curiosity and imagination encouraged throughout Appropriate for independent readers aged about seven to ten and for parents looking for read-aloud books.
