5.0 out of 5 stars Amusing story about the ancient question of weapons and boys, 26 Oct 1999
By Emily Marbach (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Beaten by a Balloon (Picture Puffin) (Paperback)
With the return of Star Wars, many parents are plunged into the dilemma of owning or not owning a toy weapon. For the parents of most boys, the subject will inevitably arise sooner or later. Every parent makes his/her own decision with the hope that the children will grow out of the need before he decides to become a serial killer. Enter the wacky world of Margaret Mahy and see how she tackles the subject. Mahy has a wild imagination. And yet, after some reflection, her strange situations don't seem so odd because she has a keen understanding of human behaviour. Her characters all ring true. She convinces the reader that the implausible predicament might actually have happened...to read the rest of the review take a look at my children's book review site, summer (previous) issue, pbq.com
