Cartoon Kid
by Jeremy Strong (Author)
Durrr! Sploop! KLUNKK!
On the first day of school Mr Butternut tells his pupils that they are secret superheroes and that if they believe in themselves they can do ANYTHING. When trouble strikes, Casper and his best friend Pete take on Masher and the Monster Mob.
With people called Ethel Snufflebottom, Hartly Tartly-Green (aka Snotbox), and references to knickers and big bums it will appeal to younger Horrid Henry fans. Amply illustrated with Smash! Bang! Wallop! exclamations and line drawings, there are comic strip pages sprinkled throughout. Not to be missed by any fan of hysterics, confuddling or trickery.
