Shabba me whiskers! It’s one of those Mr Gum books by Andy Stanton. They’re only the craziest, funnest most amazing books for children in the world.
Good evening. Talking parrots in the rooftops? A giant cactus on the high street? Mosquitos so nasty that even their own friends don’t like them? Something’s gone terribly wrong in Lamonic Bibber . . . and Mr Gum is nowhere to be found. Yes, folks, Polly and Friday are facing their biggest challenge yet. So strap yourselves in, cry `HI-HO-WEIRDY!’ and get ready for an adventure so crazy your feet will melt with happiness! And I’m not just saying that, I’ve actually seen it happen. HOORAY!
Mr Gum and the Secret Hideout is the eighth book in the internationally best-selling series by Andy Stanton, which has won everything from the Blue Peter Book Award (twice) the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Red House Children’s Book Award.

Reviews
I thought that this book was really funny.It included lots of hilarious characters which made me laugh until tears fell from my eyes.My favourite character was Friday because he loved yogurts and had a weird name. I have not met anyone in my life that has been named after a day of the week.I would recommend this book to children who love to laugh.

I thought I really liked this book and my favourite person was polly because she was investigating why clouds were falling out from the sky it interested me because it was really funny and descriptive about the story and finally I would recommend this book to people who like reading Mr Gums books.

This is the last book in the collection I enjoyed the book but I didn't understand the ending! My favourite character was Alan Taylor because he helped Polly and Friday O'leary get off the boat and save Lamonic Bibber. I would recommend this book.
