Review
Beautifully illustrated in a manner that puts you in mind of a less angular Quentin Blake, this is an enjoyable little yarn that should particularly appeal to children with an affinity for the Caribbean. (All Out Cricket )
Bob Cattell 'teams up' with the irrepressible John Agard in this hugely entertaining and sometimes provocative book. Brian Lara appears as a cricketing guide and we meet up with Sir Viv Richards, Clive Lloyd, Michael Holding and Gary Sobers in wwhat provesa to be a real festival of fun. (Carousel )
A joyous tale which will out a smile on the face of its readers. (School Librarian )

Product Description
A rising young star known across the Caribbean, Riccardo - Butter-Finger to his fans - visits London for the first time to sing in the London Caribbean Festival at the Royal Festival Hall in front of thousands. He's also hoping to see the West Indies play at Lords Cricket Ground, but most of all he hopes to find out about his father who left home for London years ago and with whom he has lost touch. Meanwhile back at home, his friends in the Calypso Cricket Club are facing their biggest challenge ever when they play in Trinidad for the Valentine Shield.
Riccardo's time in the big city is even more exciting than he could imagine as he encounters stars of music and cricket and discovers the secret of his father's disappearance in this hugely entertaining and richly plotted story.

I've bought this, and a couple more in the series, mainly for one of my grandsons who at seven was much keener on cricket than reading. It's provided excellent family reading under the duvet and in the best possible way shown why being able to read for yourself is worth the effort. Meanwhile my daughter, their mother, has got quite good at improvising calypso.
And for everyone else, with even the gentlest enthusiasm for cricket, this is simply a very enjoyable read.

This book so far exceeds anything that can be expected from a cricket book that it is bound to be a favourite of people who would never dream of buying a book about sport as well as cricket enthusiasts young and old. I really enjoyed the first two Butterfinger books. They caught the essence and excitement of young cricketers facing up to success and failures on and off the pitch. Bob Cattell's story and John Agard's verses take this to a new level. I read it at a single sitting and even in January expect it to be my book of the year.
