Top Secret

'Fantastic', 'clever', 'brilliant because it make you think about ways to get into places', 'the plans and the machines are ace' - these are just a few of the comments my young reviewers made about this book. If I also say that our Design and Technology Co-ordinator also fell on it and wants more copies - then you get the flavour of the response! An intrepid band of blobby ('Ninja Turtles without the shells') looking creatures set off with our hero, Number 7, the new kid on the team, on a daring mission. Ingenuity, nail biting excitement, pace and sheer fun characterise this book and build-up to a satisfyingly dramatic climax - the twist at the end is a perfect conclusion. The only disappointment was that the publisher put the book information on the last page of the story which detracted from it - could it not have gone on the cover instead?
