Hooey Higgins and the Shark cover

Like sharks? Like pants? Like to see a shark IN pants? Then Hooey Higgins is the series for you!

Welcome to a land called Shrimpton-on-Sea where the folks are a bit unusual and you can make friends with Hooey, Twig, Will and Dingbat the dog. Are they naughty, slightly scruffy boys? Yes they are. Will they do anything for a few quid? Yes they will. What’s so unusual about that, then? Well, it all starts with the giant chocolate egg, and then there's catching the shark in the flowery duvet cover and then Twig dresses up as a sea-urchin and gets chased through the knicker shop by Basbo the bully (boo, he's mean!) and then there's the big explosion and everything. But it all makes sense when you read it.

continually amusing story, illustrated with anarchic glee * The Independent *
an appealing, streetwise caper. * The Daily Telegraph *
Well-written, dramatic, punchy, and you'll have a great time reading it. * The Bookbag *
