Trouble in Toadpool

Trouble in Toadpool

by Anne Fine (Author)

Synopsis

Bliss! A lovely, quiet, nothing-to-do and nothing-on-the-calendar Sunday...Well, that's until bossy Aunt Susan - an unstoppable force - is on the phone insisting that Harry and his family come down to help her a local event she's promised to organise: the Great Toadpool Show. It means swinging from a trapeze. Or walking on stilts. Or riding a unicycle...And that's not counting the fortune-telling tent, the tombola, or the choir singalong. Aunt Susan has no idea of the mayhem she's about to unleash.

Media Reviews
An enjoyable blend of adult knowingness and subversive silliness, enhanced by expert illustrations by Kate Aldous that fit the story scrupulously Sunday Times Wickedly funny ... Anne Fine is the kind of writer who creates great characters and puts them through their paces in scenes constructed so well you can't see the joins -- Tony Bradman Guardian
