This is a great romp of a book with an enterprising new heroine, Vanessa, who builds fame into fortune with her partner, Croc. My children loved it. They adored the humour, with text and illustration vying right to the twist at the end leaving us all with satisfied smirks on our faces. We're dying to know when Vanessa's next brainwave will hit the publishing world.
