Trade Review
Alex T Smith's second book in the charming and hilarious Mr Penguin series is a plunging plane-ride of action and excitement with a very British sensibility that will delight fans of funny illustrated books. * BookTrust *
A fast-paced adventure with slapstick humour and brilliant illustrations. * Cressida Cowell *
The attention to detail is joyful and wonderfully enhances Alex's lively tale and the story bounces along at an energetic pace, bursting with red herrings and fish finger sandwich references aplenty. Wildly imaginative with clockwork sleighs and hypnotised snakes, it is bound to captivate younger readers. Containing just the right amount of danger, intrigue and peril for its audience which mixed with the incredibly generous slapstick comedy makes for a hugely entertaining read. * Book Lover Jo *
