Description

You're called Fidge and you're nearly eleven. You've been hurled into a strange world. You have three companions: two are unbelievably weird and the third is your awful cousin Graham. You have to solve a series of nearly impossible clues. You need to deal with a cruel dictator and three thousand Wimbley Woos (yes, you read that sentence correctly). And the whole situationthe whole, entire thingis your fault. Wed Wabbit is an adventure story about friendship, danger and the terror of never being able to get back home again. And it's funny. It's seriously funny.

Reviews

A classic in the making * The Times *
Gloriously satirical and spritely * Sunday Times *
A future classic - really, really funny * Nina Stibbe *
Inventive, funny and not a word out of place * Charlotte Eyre, The Bookseller *
So funny, and so sharp and dark and beautiful and un-guessable. What a book * Katherine Rundell *
Evans is the real deal; a hilariously funny writer whose effortless storytelling will capture the imagination of any child. Wed Wabbit deserves a place on every bookshelf * Guardian *

Author Bio

Lissa Evans still remembers writing her first joke, aged 7 (it involved a hippo). She never lost her interest in funny lines, and, following a medical degree, she changed careers to become a comedy producer for radio and TV. Her children's novels have been shortlisted for the Costa Children's Book Award, Carnegie Medal, and Branford Boase Award, and her first - Small Change for Stuart - was an international bestseller. Her books for adults include Their Finest Hour and a Half, which was longlisted for the Baileys Prize and made into a recent film (Their Finest, starring Bill Nighy), Old Baggage and V for Victory.
