Description

A funny fantasy-adventure series for fans of LEMONY SNICKET, NEIL GAIMAN, and CRESSIDA COWELL


 


What do you do when you survive a pirate kidnapping, a milk-drinking contest with a giant grizzly bear, and a stint inside the belly of a whale? If you're Mabel Jones, you do everything you can to avoid another UNLIKELY ADVENTURE


 


But when Mabel's baby sister is plucked from her crib by an EVIL witch, Mabel has no choice but to follow both to the jungles of the Forbidden City.


 


Joining a brand-new cast of characters--and a few familiar faces from The Unlikely Adventures of Mabel Jones--Mabel races an arrogant fox, slays a ferocious millipede, and battles the diabolical witch. But is she prepared to make the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE to save her sister?

Reviews

'The irreverent wit plus fabulous embellishments by Ross Collins will swash your buckles Sunday Times Delightfully nasty, bonkers piratical fun. I laughed out loud on the Tube!' Robin Stevens, bestselling author of Murder Most Unladylike


'Think The Mighty Boosh for 8-year-olds with a dash of Lemony Snicket thrown in. Although Mabbitt has a voice all of his own.' The Times


'Anarchic, adventurous and extremely funny, this is a fantastic debut at the younger end of middle-grade.' The Bookseller
