crowyhead's review against another edition
3.0
A fun kids' novel in the tradition of Lemony Snicket and Roald Dahl, although possibly not quite of the same calibre.. I enjoyed it, but I probably won't actively seek out the sequels, unless I happen to see them at the library.

Ridiculous. Funny. Unexpected.
I read this as a child and I absolutely loved it, so when I found it in my school’s library I had to take it out! The twist at the end had me looking back at the page numbers to check! It did make me chuckle in places and I can see why I liked it at the time (it’s a little juvenile for me now).
