'perfect for readers to carry on from Horrid Henry' (The Bookseller TOP TITLE). An audio except from book 1 featured in the popular boys' magazine TOXIC as part of a highly-successful series launch in April 07. Sales of books 1 and 2 exceeded 15,000 within 3 months of publishing. Overall sales the series, books 1-4, now over 36,500. Ideal for fans of Paul Jennings, Andy Griffiths and Michael Lawrence - guaranteed boy appeal. Ideal to tempt reluctant readers. Very collectible titles in the spirit of Lemony Snicket and Spiderwick. Author is brilliantly marketable and is a star schools and at conferences (incl. Brighton and Edinburgh festivals).

'You may have caught the TV. The books are better...potent but fun reading - ANGELS & URCHINS - Emily Gravetthave more than a hint of Roald Dahl in their unflinching approach to the darker sides of human nature...surreal and funny. - THE SCOTSMAN - Kathryn Ross
