25 reviews

The third hilarious children’s novel from Demolition Dad and Superhero Street author Phil Earle, illustrated by Waterstones Children’s Book Prize shortlisted artist, Sara Ogilvie. Perfect for fans of Roald Dahl, Liz Pichon and David Walliams. Masher is the bully of Storey Street. No one ever dares stand up to him and that’s the way he likes it. But then Jemima and her family move into the plot of land next door. Jemima isn’t afraid of him at all, and she’s making him look like a bit of a wimp. To Masher, that just means one thing: war. (At least until teatime…)

Such a funny story lots of detail I really enjoyed reading it all the way through. At first it's very slow but you have to keep reading on. On the front cover where it says 'fight to the death... or at least until teatime' isn't true. I would recommend to people older than 8 because it's a big book but it's very fun to read.

This is a good book where gymnastics people trying to get back the robbers stole from people's houses like cars, household stuff. I really like the way how gymnastics use tricks to fix everything in one night. It was a fictional story. Yes, would recommend it to someone else.
