2008-05-06 Cool book! - opinion of an 8 year old!

This is a funny book. I am an 8 year old girl and I really enjoyed this. I have got the rest of the books and am reading Mr Gum and the Goblins at the moment. I would recommend this book to all capable readers both girls and boys as it is intriguing and makes you want to keep reading.
