But the interests of the target audience are more pertinent, and these are fully considered. The read is a very lively one, with lots of variety in scenes, and the young will even be interested to read events set in a farmer's market fair. Sparkes does seem to have this habit, of basing her books on things her audience generally probably aren't interested in - the future of a farm and the cameo of the title creature here, for instance - but she never lets drop her craft in forming the sprightliness, quality, pace and energy of her output. All these are in evidence here, and this title deserves a healthy Bookbag rating.
