Return to Ribblestrop- Andy mulligan

 Before the children even arrive at ribblestrop, they hitch hike, live through a car crash, set fire to a hotel,and get a man to  collect his traveling van of animals and bring them to school for a school circus project. This definitely sums up the of madness  of the book.

Millie and her orphan friends live at a boarding school, well I wouldn't really call it a school! Throughout the course of the book the children realize the treasures hidden in ribblestrop, which everybody wants. However it may seem like a boring, obvious plot but as the strangeness continues mulligan uses comedy wit and emotion to make this book addictive.

I loved the first section of the book, andy gets the reader hooked involved and interested by his strange occurrences and unique characters and it makes the first chapter seem like a story in itself. Throughout the book I was constantly laughing at the things going in and this humor makes the book more pleasurable to read. From reading this book I would not know that it was a series as it was well explained and didn't seem like other sequels you were reading half a story!

A faultless book, good for all ages loved it!!
