Nine year old Maggie lives with her Mum and her younger sister, Lily in a village called Knobbly Bottom. Maggie is far from happy about this as there is nothing to do there and she would much rather return to their old home in Leicester. However, things begin to take a rather unusual turn when Maggie begins to see sheep with red eyes and fangs popping up. These menacing creatures seem to be determined to take over the world but Maggie has other ideas. Her mum refuses to believe her so she needs to take things into her own hands. Can Maggie save Knobbly Bottom before it's too late?This is a laugh-out-loud read that is full of adventure and capers that will keep readers entertained. The chatty, first person narration makes Maggie feel like a friend from the beginning and the illustrations by Jeff Crowther compliment the story-line perfectly.
From baguette-wielding sword fights to talking sheep in sun-glasses, this is a book that readers will adore and is perfect for those in lower KS2 who are gaining confidence in their own reading.
Publishing on the 6th July, The Beast of Knobbly Bottom is a guaranteed hit and I can't wait to see what comes next.
