The Fabulous Phartlehorn Affair
M. L. Peel, Hannah Shaw
A hilarious fantastical romp from a talented debut author.
Bruno Pockley has a talent. A prodigious talent. But he’s only just discovering its worth… When Bruno is sniffed out by a specially trained Trumpenhund as having world-class phartling potential, it’s as if all his dreams have come true. Finally, his talent is being recognized! Then he and his classmates are taken to the court of the Knights Trumplar in the Kingdom of Phartesia, where they’ll learn to play the ancient Phartlehorn for a performance of epic proportions. Starry-eyed, the children are determined to prove themselves to the magnificent Duke of Phartesia and his beguiling daughter. However, things are not always as they appear – and when Bruno and his friend Grace stumble upon the sickening truth about the Knights Trumplar, the wind is quite literally taken out of their sails.
Reviews
I thought it was really funny because five children are kidnapped and forced to play instruments by farting. I would recommend this book.

In this book a boy called Bruno goes on a school trip to France and at nighttime 5 children including Bruno and his best friend Grace Chalk get taken to a castle and the people there want to explode them. Even though this sounds scary it is actually a very funny book.
