[Praise for previous edition]: 'stink is what Ogilvy does best. This is a book that smells superbly foul. Teachers and parents take note: this would make for the perfect, serialised read-aloud before going home, going to bed or going spare.' Michael Rosen, Guardian 'A terrific tale in every sense' Amanda Craig, The Times 'This is the kind of ... tale in which youngsters triumph by being courageous and clever. And there's always a place in children's reading for that' Nicolette Jones, Sunday Times book of the week 'A terrific adventure in which the writing and the invention burst into life' Jan Mark, Times Educational Supplement 'Ian Ogilvy's first novel for children is a triumph, a hugely inventive Dahl-esque adventure in which the pace never flags and the reader's attention never allowed to wander' Books for Keeps
I bought this book thinking it was a new book in the Measle series but it is a re print of Measle and the Wrathmonk with a new title. Still a good book though.
BEWARE ALL OF THESE MEASLE STUBBS ADVENTURES ARE RETITLED VERSIONS OF PREVIOUS IAN OGILVY BOOKS SUCH AS THE SLITHERGHOUL, THE DOOMPIT AND THE WRATHMONK. THE STORY IS GREAT BUT THE SCAM IS NOT.
