Book Description

Publication Date: 1 July 2010

Harry is in trouble. He's burned down the family kitchen so now has to spend a week of his summer hols with his uncle Tristram - who's heading off to stay with a new girlfriend - Morning Glory - on a tiny British island.

Harry doesn't expect it to be a lot of fun - with just a wacky competition at the end of the week to look forward to.

He certainly didn't expect to discover all the beards.

Or the angel on the mountain.

Or the helicopters circling overhead all week.

And he definitely didn't think it would be so wet . . .

Product Description

Review

"Anne Fine's acerbic take on life often assumes a level of sophistication in her young readers. Insights into the emotional lives of grown ups can appeal to children and the misunderstandings that surround Harry and Tristram's trip create comic situations that make the readers, for once, the knowing ones" (Nicolette Jones The Sunday Times 20090621)

"Family relationships come under close scrutiny in this book, which is ideal for the summer holidays" (The Bookseller 20090724)

"A lively, witty, rain-drenched tale full of big beards, from one of our best children's writers" (Daniel Hahn Independent on Sunday 20090712)

"This is a most enjoyable book" (Mary Arrigan Irish Examiner 20090822)

"This is Anne Fine at her hilarious best" (Wendy Cooling Child Education 20091101)

Book Description

A hilarious tale of a holiday week on a remote British island - where the highlight of the week is the annual Fair with its Eating Things on Sticks competition

3.0 out of 5 stars Eating things on sticks 27 Aug 2011
By M. I. Horn
Format:Paperback
I read a rave review of this book in the Week and the suggested reading age was 5 -8. I thought this was too old for the bright 5 year old I planned to give it to. I read the book and it was quite amusing, but the story wasn't that gripping, so I have only given it 3 stars. I think it would appeal to slightly older children, but as I am keeping it to give to my older grandson for Christmas, I can't comment on a child's reation.
