Review

Preparing for their first sleepover, Shackleton Jones and his father go through the park to collect his friend, the incredible Amelia Miles.


But on their way, they encounter a mysterious woman who curses the park! And curse it she did, as she is none other than Glam-Evil, the ultravillain.


Their return journey suddenly includes an incredible storm and flood, and then an encounter with three anacondas - the world’s largest snakes.


Luckily, Meg Miles (Amelia’s Mum) is prepared for everything, and there is so much in Amelia’s bag that can be used to save them.


Can they survive the powerful Glam-Evil?


This is Book 1 in a great new series. It is a terrific problem solving graphic novel with tremendous characters, that will thoroughly entertain younger readers.
