(Bookfest )

Product Description
Crampton Rock seems the perfect place to spend a long summer holiday. But there’s always something to go and spoil it all, isn’t there? Why are all the dogs three-legged? Is there really a werewolf on the loose? And what do the pirates want with Stanley Buggles ...?

5.0 out of 5 stars Wooden mile - mile high success, 28 Jan 2008
By R. Earl "dragongirl" (Bedfordshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the first in the series, of 4 books. and it is amazing, totally addictive and great fun. Chris Mould writes with a fast pace and a good sense of humour and his illustrations are great too. You will be begging for the next part

3.0 out of 5 stars there's better stuff out there, 7 Jul 2007
By Caraculiambro (La Mancha) - See all my reviews
Since the blazing success of Harry Potter, there has been a slew of books for children in roughly the same genre.

That doesn't mean they're all bad, but I would give this particular series a pass. (It's meant to be a trilogy: this is the first volume. The others, unpublished as of my writing, are to be II: "The Icy Hand," and III: "The Silver Casket.")

This tale centers around the adventures of the young Stanley Buggles as he sets out to discover why a mysterious island is plagued with werewoves and pirates.

"The Wooden Mile" has a fun look and feel, and Mould is quite able with dialogue. There are in addition many endearing sketches of the people and places around Crampton Rock (whereupon the action of the tale is set).

Regrettably, the main character comes off as devoid of any real personality, and events in the book happen so quickly and follow each other so relentlessly that it's difficult for the reader to be emotionally present.

I would say this is most appropriate for boys, ages 8-10.

5.0 out of 5 stars great for 7-9 year olds, 13 Jul 2008
My 7 year old daughter loves adventure stories, especially something with a bit of a mystery and a bit of magic. This series ticks all the boxes: it's well paced, full of cliff hangers, easy to follow (and to read out loud) and the drawings match the text brilliantly. It's a proper 'chapter book' but short enough for bed-time reading. More please, Mr Mould!
