Product Description
Product Description
Eric lives rough in north London with Thickpea, his rat, and a ragbag assortment of the city's homeless, dispossessed and slightly smelly. Then one of their number is kidnapped, and Eric and his friends are thrown into a strange and confusing world. Who is the blond young man that keeps cropping up? How is Eric's family involved in his turmoil? And how does he know who to trust? The answers come after a series of events culminating in a deadly climax, and Eric must face some unpleasant truths.
From the Author
The story is told in a light-hearted manner,with plenty of laughs along the way. It gives a hint of what it's like to live rough, without a family or a home of your own. It tells what happens when that life is turned upside down by a family's greed. At times of trouble, friends are there to help, including the friend you never knew you had. And it shows how life is not fair, but good can be found in unexpected places.

A Great Read For All Ages!,

This review is from: Eric and Thickpea (Paperback)
I bought this book for a friend but once I started flicknig through it, I couldn't put it down! There's a great collection of eccentric characters for younger readers and a dark enough storyline for elder readers. It all comes together to a wonderful ending with a bit of a twist. Just awesome, and the illustrations are pretty good as well!

Excellent!!!!,

This review is from: Eric and Thickpea (Paperback)
I bought this book for my cousins (7-11), and have found it an excellent tool for keeping them amused. They were delighted with the book, and I now find that whenever I'm babysitting this story is a must before bed time. The plot is exciting and compelling, with believable, well thought-out characters. The main character is someone that most children will be able to relate to. Overall, a well-constructed and developed story. A must-buy!

This review is from: Eric and Thickpea (Paperback)
I bought this book for my grand daughter and having read the first few pages to check it out couldnt put it down ! It is a fast moving mystery with well filled characters and a good mysterious plot. Jill Martin does a n excellent job and I hope it many more of the same genre will follow. Well done
