Mr Gum and the secret hideout Andy Stanton

Mr Gum and The Secret Hideout are set in a small town called Lamonic Bibber. Mr Gum and Billy William the Third are always out to destroy Lamonic Bibber no matter what. So it’s up to a small girl named Polly and her friend Friday to stop them. There is also a surprising appearance of a man named surprising Ben he pops up here he pos up there and is a funny addition to the story.

Overall I quite enjoyed Mr Gum it is a funny interesting story that keeps you entertained with weird language and eye-catching cartoons. As a book that is aimed at smaller children the author has done so perfectly and no matter what their reading ability is they are sure to enjoy Mr Gum.

The characters are imaginatively created and are always doing and saying funny and stupid things. The character Friday O’Leary is particularly interesting and he is constantly talking about his love of yogurt and sometimes and ignoring Polly whilst doing so.

It’s not particularly well written but the book is aimed and small children so it doesn’t really matter and sometimes it goes off the plot a bit. However I still enjoyed it.
