The third side-splittingly funny book about the truly nasty Mr Gum and a wacky cast of characters, a series which can best be described as a cross between Roald Dahl and Monty Python, with plenty of both boy and girl appeal in the 8-12 years market. Reviews have been fantastic: 'an irresistible, laughter-inducing romp' "Sunday Times"; 'worryingly splendid' Philip Ardagh in the "Guardian"; 'This is a riot, it is hilarious, it is brilliant...best book I've read in a long time' Danny Baker. And the first book, "You're A Bad Man, Mr Gum" sold over 30,000 copies in 5 months.
Synopsis
Old roo-de-lally Mr Gum and hideous Billy William the Third are once more mucking things up for everyone. They're a-schemin' and a-hatchin' an' making their bad plans up on Goblin Mountain. Can the brave travellers make it past the Three Impossible Challenges of Goblin Mountain and save the town from a fate worse than something very bad indeed?
