Reviews

My favourite part of this book is when it got captured by the headteacher and had to join the lesson. I enjoyed seeing all of the lessons that they had in the school. My favourite character Was saucepan man because He had to come and rescue them from the school.

I was surprised when the goblins were really naughty. My favourite character was The Saucepan Man because he saved the children. I would recommend it as I found it surprising.
