Average rating
The first title in a two-colour fiction series, ideal for children growing in confidence as readers and beginning to read alone. Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam don't just make amazing cakes. These two brave bakers solve wacky mysteries too! Halloween at St Spectre's school brings out the cheekiest of ghosts! And who is to blame when the weather goes CRAZY? A power-grabbing red panda, maybe? Certainly not the raccoon gang fixing the museum's toilets - they've got dastardly plans of their OWN! Look out for Shifty and Sam's other chapter book adventures: Up, Up and Away! The Aliens are Coming! Jingle Bells!

I like this book because it was very funny, and it was adventurous, and it was very very intriguing and it wasn’t super long and there wasn’t long chapters.

I loved this book, especially when Shifty and Sam were scared of the school and the little students weren't. I bought this book after meeting the author Tracey Corderoy, she inspired me to write my own this summer. Spolier alert - I also liked when the raccoons tried to steal precious Roman artefacts from the museum.

Spooky tales are Chester’s current favourite. The short story set up of these are ideal for reading together.

This book had three stories in one book. I liked the characters especially Slippery Sam. I also liked the gadgets that they made to catch the bad guys which looked like things you would find in the kitchen.

This is a fiction book. I liked that Slippery Sam said he wasn't scared of the dog ghost, but he was scared. I would definitely recommend this book.

It’s short and big pictures not a lot of words
Captain Heroica Heronimus 26.07.2022
Good because it’s about 2 dogs solving mystery’s. My favourite character was Shifty Mcgifty because he is really nice and Sam is a bit more bossy. Really interesting. I recommend the book.
Captain Honeycomb Bluebird 26.07.2022
This book is not the best of the series but it is still funny and I enjoyed it. The best bit was trouble at the museum because Shifty dressed up as a lady to go into the ladies loos to find out what the racoons were secretly planning after they had bought all of Shifty and Sam's millionaire shortbread and iced gems.

This was funny!

I liked the characters in this book - they are funny and entertaining. It was actually short stories with a Halloween theme, which I wasn't expecting - I thought it was one long story. It was a bit easy for me so I think it is suited to younger readers (I'm 8).
