Hooey Higgins and the Big Boat Race

Hooey Higgins and his friends are back again, ready to be involved with whatever mayhem is happening – and if it isn’t happening yet, they will cause it. Unintentionally. Of course. Starting with a search for treasure on the beach, where Twig is attached to too many magnets for his own good, they segue into the Shrimpton-on-Sea Home-Made Boat Race… but not before a class swimming lesson at the local pool has gone thoroughly and chaotically wrong. Does this herald potential calamity at the Boat Race? Absolutely, and existing fans of Hooey will not be disappointed. New fans will welcome the continued slapstick which permeates the book at every twist and turn – and will be rolling around with laughter as things continue in that vein. Reluctant readers will find that this book is worth picking up for a good laugh. A welcome addition to the class library.
