In this book Debi Gliori seems to move up a gear! We have real emotions as an exasperated older sister tries all sorts of ways to get rid of her shadow of a little brother. When it seems as though the use of her mother's vanishing cream (that took some explaining - does anyone use vanishing cream any more?) has done the trick, we share her mounting panic as she searches the house to find him. Debi Gliori uses every device at her disposal to build suspense. Her clever arrangement of text and pictures and her double-page spread of his imagined fate were pored over again and again, as was the delightful ending.
