2.5. Not sure I can call it a lovely book... as it's full of horrible things! But it was definitely an interesting adventure, definitely pro-libraries (thank you Mr Harrold!) Makes me want to read the Enid Blyton circus stories now. :)

I can imagine this being very funny for children as the author breaks the fourth wall a lot to address the reader directly, plus the storyline is very appealing to the age group it is aimed at. I thought the message it was aiming to get across to children was also pretty well done.

Not at all what I was expecting, this book follows Fizzlebert Stump who lives at the circus, an interesting concept to start. His Mum is a clown, his Dad is a strongman and he has lots of adult friends, who teach him all kinds of things, but no other children. One day, he leaves to return a book to the library and doesn’t return... This was laugh-out-loud funny but also dealt with some more serious issues in a lighthearted way, including stranger danger and embracing being different.
