Product Description
Product Description
Bailey arrives in a new neighbourhood with his extraordinary family. He has no friends but receives a mysterious invitation to join the Scribbleboy Fan Club. The one and only founder member is Ziggy Fuzz. His vital mission is to spread the word about Scribbleboy and his amazing scribbles which years ago transformed the gloomy grey concrete of the neighbourhood. Swept along in plans to discover the identity of the mythical artist, Bailey carries on his work so the scribbles start again and eventually he discovers the scribbleboy is in fact a scribblegirl!

Format:Paperback
The cover of this book reflects the storyline: colourful. It is a wonderful adventure in colour, and the descriptions of these "scribbles" are magical. The characters in the book are brilliant, all very unique. I don't think anyone except Philip Ridley could think of people like these. This book is a rollercoaster of emotions, with a fantastic ending. I must recommend this to all children and adults, as it is one of those books that makes you feel really happy.

This was my favourite book growing up. It's so magical, I must have read it a hundred times. As a young girl it inspired me to be adventurous and creative. It's not only written beautifully, but it has magnificent illustrations which may keep the younger reader's attention.
I highly recommend it, not just for the target audience, namely 10 - 14, but even to adults who wish to recapture that sense of adventure. It's not written in a patronising or childish way and it's pure pleasure to read.

Scribbleboy is a lovely book for young readers. The words in the book are not to small but not to big and there are also some detailed drawings which help to understand each character as you go along. If you are a mother and have a son or daughter between 9 - 12 and they like reading then this is the perfect christmas gift.

Read this book with my class of 7 year olds! Brilliant fun to read aloud and was a struggle to put the book away and get the children out of school at the end of the day in time! Read more

Scribbleboy
This a great book. My eight year old daughter loves it, having thoroughly enjoyed reading Krindlekraks with her class at school.
