Description
Paul Jennings meets the Treehouse in this hilarious new series, Something Terrible.
Becky Culpepper lives at 34 Rufus Street. You might be surprised to know that is her name, because most people think her name is Becky Brush-your-hair. But no matter how many people tell her, or how often, Becky never brushes her hair.
One morning, just as Becky was leaving for school, her mum called, ‘Becky! Brush your hair. Something terrible could happen!’
This is the story of the something terrible that did.
Sally Barton weaves a brush-with-disaster pony-tale of do's and do-knots in his tangled mess of a second instalment of the terrible things that happen in Rufus Street.
Review
Becky Culpepper is always being told to brush her hair - or something terrible might happen.
And on her way to school one day, as she passed Tim Mulligan (who had his shoe laces tied), something strange and terrible did!
At first, it was only two small birds that decided to make her hair home. She didn’t really mind, but the scritching, scratching, chirping and cheeping were a bit of a problem. But this is just start of Becky’s troubles...
When two middle sized birds and then two large birds also decide to call her hair home, the fun really begins. When the hairdresser, the doctor and the vet can’t help, it is up to Dr Philbert at the zoo to come up with a solution. But with rare birds now using Becky’s hair as the nest for their eggs, there won’t be a quick or easy fix!
This is the second book in this series is another fun read, with a cautionary tale. Maybe Becky might realise that her parents do know best!
