(Age: 9+) Recommended. Themes: Humour. Winner of the Text Prize for
Young Adult and Children's Writing, this tale about Kipp Kindle and
his friends Tobias Treachery and Cymphany Chan will tickle the
fancies of many mid to upper primary people. The trio lives in
Huggabie Falls, the oddest town on Earth. It is simply normal, part
of its DNA, that strange things happen everyday. But when something
even more weird happens, Kipp and his friends know that something is
wrong. They must find out what is making everything turn normal, and
to return the weirdness to Huggabie Falls.
But Cymphany has been turned into a baby hippopotamus, and an
outbreak of killer bats has been summoned up by the evil Felonious
Dark, a scientist who wields a wand. With his vegetarian piranhas
and a Portuguese-speaking lab rat called Ralf, Kipp, Tobias and
Cymphany are undaunted. The first book in the Huggabie Falls
trilogy, this book will delight mid to upper primary readers looking
for something silly, zany and a lot of fun, something to read out
loud to friends, to share the silliness behind the engrossing
illustrations and simply sit down in a shady spot and laugh until
the tears fall onto the pages.
Book 2: The Unbelievably Scary Thing that Happened in Huggabie
Falls appeared in October 2018.
