Read an exclusive extract from Lenny Lemmon and the Trail of Crumbs by Ben Davis & James Lancett

We’re very excited to be publishing Lenny Lemmon and the Trail of Crumbs next month – the second book in the hilarious Lenny Lemmon series, written by Ben Davis & illustrated by James Lancett.

And today we’re delighted to be sharing a preview of the book – you can read the first few chapters below!

When an important visitor turns up at school one day, Lenny and his friends are surprised to find themselves sent to the back field to count the footballs and tidy up the bibs. The school dog, Crumbs, has been sent there too. He’s quite a lively dog and prone to over-enthusiasm. Suddenly they realise it’s all a ruse to keep them away from the guest!

Furious, and not a little hurt, our heroes rush into school, demanding answers and an apology. The subsequent encounter (chase) with the important visitor nearly brings down the school. But, of course, Lenny and friends, with the help of the enthusiastic Crumbs, save the day and show everyone that Fleurwood Academy is the place to be!
