Hopping Mad
Illustrated by Philippe Dupasquier
One from the series of 'Lenny and Jake Adventures', this is a complex tale about art patrons, stolen nappies and a sponsored hop. I had to read it twice before I could get hold of the plot, which suggests that readers should be fairly experienced before tackling it. Despite this, it's entertaining and written with a nice ear for children's speech. Good for those ready for a more involved storyline in a non-threatening, illustrated novel format.
