My favourite bit was when they were inside the fortress. Mr Penguin was quite scared and worried.

Mr Penguin has a spider friend called Collin, who is especially good at kung fu kicks!

Even better than the first! I had so many suspects and only at the end I figured out the mistery! Actually the book gave me the aw set so I didn't really solve it!

I thought the characters were endearing and I thought the caterpillar who couldnt talk and wrote things down made the book inclusive.

It a funny sequel of 'Mr Penguin and the Lost Treasure' and Mr Penguin is still obsessed with fish finger sand witches! Mr penguin, Edna, Colin and Gordon are on a mission when there plane crashes and they meet the people from a village that have a major problem. I love Colin the spider because he is a master at Kung-Fu and he always writes funny things on his pad. He also has a simple code for what he scribbles - underlining words if he's very suspicious and writing small if he is whispering. This is a must read for people that like a bit of mystery with a hilarious twist.

I loved how in the book people could hypnotise people.

The best part was when Mr penguin asked Colin can I throw you and Colin replied no thank you.
