Reviews
Humorous rhyming text is well matched with lively, amusing illustrations.
It is only now that one of my sons has reached the right reading stage that I realise the sheer genius of Tim Healey and Chris Mould's Mortimer Keene series. I have never seen him devour a book with so many tricky words so fast as he did... zany comic writing and elegantly ghastly pictures that are the joy.
Another visual feast full of fun... top notch ghost-busting!
Great for newly confident readers.
A motivating and entertaining read for emerging readers in junior school... complemented by a set of fantastic black and white drawings.
