The Blurb On The Back:
From the desk of Dougal Trump:
I, Dougal Trump, am dead.
OK, I’m not actually dead. But if I’m not careful I soon will be.
(1) Because the creature* in our shed will EAT me.
(2) Because my family and friends will KILL me. Despite the fact that I am completely innocent of all the things they say I’ve done.
NONE OF IT IS MY FAULT!
Yours,
Dougal Trump.
* I don’t know what it is, but it has teeth. Big ones.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Jackie Marchant’s debut novel for readers aged 9+ tells Dougal Trump’s own story to hilarious effect and I totally believed in his relationships with his best friends and his long-suffering family. The illustrations by Mike Lowery deserve special mention as they really add to the story and I think this would be a perfect gift idea for boy readers this Christmas.
