Well, bless my bagpipes! The wonderful Andy Stanton is back with yet another hilarious installment in the Mr Gum series – this time, it’s Mr Gum and the Cherry Tree.
In this anarchic adventure, the residents of Lamonic Bibber appear transfixed with the reappearance of the long-missed king of the woodland spirits, Runtus. Sounds sane enough (in Andy Stanton’s world, at least) but when Runtus demands the townsfolk bring him their most prized possessions – trouble pricks at the ears of Polly, Friday and the biscuit with electric muscles, Alan Taylor.
Can our heroes discover the truth behind Runtus’s real identity and stop the madness before it’s too late? Only if they can deal with a veritable menagerie of bizarre pets…
Mr Gum and the Cherry Tree is the 7th book in this brilliantly barmy series. If you haven’t dipped your toe into the adventures of Lamonic Bibber yet – I highly recommend you do so as soon as possible. You’ll love it – or I’m not a caterpillar called Graeme.
