I read this book every autumn. It’s made more fun if you recognize the stories it references, but still an enjoyable read no matter what. Snuff is a hugely lovable protagonist, and I love his interactions with his friends and frenemies alike. I could see this being a fun read-aloud for a parent and their kid to do together too. Also, I think about the line,

”an enormous number of acorns were ruined last night”

at least once a week.

One of my favorites.

I have fond memories of listening to an audio book of this on cassette tape. It’d be worth keeping a Walkman around just for this purpose.

This book was a fun read! I think it could have been shorter, but it was still rather short and quick.
