Readers who don’t mind formulaic text might stick with this one. However, with its length, the reluctant reader will likely lose interest quickly. Not recommended.
Full of silly situations and characters, this is a great fit for readers moving on from similarly zany chapter book series such as Dav Pilkey’s “Ricky Ricotta’s Mighty Robot” and Tom Angleberger’s “Inspector Flytrap,” or for fans of fellow offbeat UK imports Roald Dahl and David Walliams.
