Reviews

  • “An interactive story where the reader is encouraged to add details, drawings, or sound effects inspired by the sheer wackiness of the stories … the combination is irresistible.”

    The Horn Book

  • “You can tell the authors have had a great time making this book because it is really funny. What I also love about it is that it is interactive so the readers can add their own drawings and finish chapters. They can colour it in if they like, and to me, that’s lovely because it’s not only fun but it also extends the life of the book.”

    TESCO Kids' Book Club

  • “The brilliant Mega Mash-up books take great subjects for boys and turn them into short, whacky stories that are incredibly easy and quick to read. The illustrations are bold and crazy and there’s plenty of space left on each page, together with some suggestions, so kids can add their own drawings. The books read as hilarious, zippy stories, ideal for engaging reluctant readers aged between six and nine.”

    Beverley Guardian

  • “I can’t believe there is a 6-9 year old boy out there who will not be enchanted by this book… If you are a parent of a boy in this age range you would be a fool not to get these for your son…”

    The Book Zone (for boys)

  • “This is exactly the kind of books us parents need to be able to hand to our offspring in school holidays or on long car journey!”

    Library Mice

  • “This new series… is an innovative and clever combination of novel and doodle book and I think is an absolutely brilliant idea for reluctant or struggling readers, especially that notoriously hard market – boys.”
