Reviews

Don't miss the comic genius that is Penny Dreadful, a wickedly funny new creation and worthy contender to Horrid Henry. * The Bookseller *
A truly apt title for a book that features the escapades of a small, well-meaning girl whose good intentions create havoc... This is a very funny book for newly independent readers. * The Irish Examiner *
Can not be read with a straight face. * Sarah's Book Reviews *
Side-splittingly funny. * The Bookseller *
Get ready for a taste of destruction with this second side-splitting trio of tales of trouble. Penny Dreadful would have even Minnie the Minx running for cover. Nothing is safe when shes around. * Just Imagine Story Centre *
