Format:Paperback
Robin Brogan is scared of dogs and when The Robison Family move in next door to him the twins, Perry and Ant, try to cure him of his fear using their faithful and fittingly named dog, Old Blanket. Then Robin finds a dog on the beach and is made to hand it into the police by his mother. With only the eccentric Robinson children (Perry, Ant, their younger brother Sun Dance and little sister Beany) to keep him occupied, Robin has to wait a week before he can find out if he's allowed to keep his dog.
I read Dog Friday first when I was ten, then again when I was 14 and again just last week, and every time I read it, I can't help but laugh. The plot may sound slightly boring from the outside, but the hilarious capers of the Robinsons fill the whole book with laughs that will still be funny, no matter how many times you read it.

These are wonderful, funny and deeply touching books. These and the Exiles are still in my "best books I've read" list even though they are childrens books. They are extremely well written for a start and the characters are real and refreshingly bonkers in the way that most children of their ages are. You can move from snorting with laughter at the beginning of a chapter to feeling terribly choked up at the end, although the style is never sentimental. The storyline of Sundance who learns about the moons gravitational pull on the tides, and then decides to fly at night with two buckets of water is a classic! As good for boys as for girls, get these and give them as top book presents...after sneaking a read yourself first that is!
