Review
This is the first instalment in a new series that is sure to be a hit with junior to middle primary readers.
With three stories in one, this first book introduces our main characters - Clare, Maddie, Terrible Chicken and Dad, as well as the other residents of Dead End.
In Don’t Sit on Me all the chairs of Dead End revolt over being used for the one purpose that they were intended for – being sat on! Can Maddie, Clare and Terrible Chicken think quick enough to save Dad and everyone else from being snapped by the angry mob?
In Bubbles we see Maddie imagine being trapped in a giant bubble and floating away to become the Supreme Ultimate High Leader of the city of Lost Bubbles.
And our final story in this first book, Terrible Chicken VS The Whatsit sees the neighbours of Dead End attending the first Annual Dead End Empty Lot Scary Movie Night. But when Terrible Chicken (who actually thinks she is a dinosaur), is in the sights of the Whatsit, the girls must come up with a plan to save her!
These whacky stories will appeal to all those in junior and middle primary with a sense of imagination and humour.
