What should be a restful holiday becomes a race through wild country in the eighty-second book of the series.
Obstacles arrive in unlikely shapes, the narrator complains throughout, and courage turns out to be something he can manage when no alternative presents itself. Simple language, strong artwork and entertaining supporting characters make the book suitable both for children reading alone and for adults reading it out loud.
What awaits inside:
• A holiday replaced by an endurance race through wild terrain
• Unusual obstacles played for comedy rather than danger
• Staying positive presented as a practical skill
• Artwork and vocabulary pitched at newer independent readers
Good for children of about seven to ten, family reading time and anyone building a home collection of English fiction. Sold through Boipoka.
