The pace picks up in the last third of the story making the book hard to put down. Although the conclusion is far from original, I liked the underlying message which is strong without being too preachy.
Overall, this is a fun and silly story that a certain group of children will enjoy. If your kids liked this, they might also like David Baddiel's previous book [[The Parent Agency by David Baddiel|The Parent Agency]]. Alternatively why not try books by the other David – Walliams, that is. He has a wild and zany humour that appeals to young readers. Bookbag enjoyed [[Billionaire Boy by David WalliamsBillionaire Walliams|Billionaire Boy]], [[Demon Dentist by David Walliams|Demon Dentist]], [[Ratburger by David Walliams|Ratburger]] and especially [[The Boy in the Dress by David Walliams and Quentin Blake|The Boy in the Dress]].
