8-10 Junior/Middle
In the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory tradition, it includes a cold porridge factory run by the Wicked Wallah Wellibhut, not to mention a marmalade-coloured camel called Maisie and a little girl who buys her. Together they win the Christmas Camel Race and convert the Wicked Wallah to kindliness and ice-cream making. The print is microscopic but there's a picture on every page and the daft humor will undoubtedly appeal to middle juniors.
