Mr gum and the secret hideout- andy Stanton

This is one of a series of books about the crazy cunning yet wonderful mr Gum  accompanied by his obedient assistant Billy William. Together the villains try and destroy the town of lamonic bibberand make life miserable for everyone!  When the 'department of clouds and yoghurts', made up of  thrill seeking Polly and Friday, come along there is a mystery to be solved...

I liked how this is a book like no others and defiantly doesn't lack excitement and imagination. With weird and wonderful written all over there is something hysterical on every page and it Certainly made me laugh! throughout the book onomatapeas and sound effects that brought the story to life!

However the plot was not very complex and was easy to predict what was going to happen next, apart from the odd talking gingerbread man showing up?! I would have enjoyed it more if something unexpected had occurred.

This is a unique book but i didn't enjoy it as much as when I started to get into it it had finished! Yet a change to normal and great for young readers to enjoy!
