Oliver Fibbs and the Giant Boy-Munching Bugs

Author: Steve Hartley

Oliver Ranulph Templeton Tibbs is also known as Oliver Fibbs, ‘just because I tell people I’m DABman, the daring and brave, dashing and bold DEFENDER OF PLANET EARTH (D.O.P.E.)’. Oliver may have delusions of grandeur, but he is just trying to stop life from becoming D.A.B. – dull and boring. Anyway, this time something really has happened. Oliver’s dad has been bitten by a blood-sucking Ubangi Devil Bug and has come down with Wengi Bengi Fever. However, everyone at school has heard Oliver’s fibs many time before. They won’t believe Oliver’s dad is covered in radioactive orange spots.  If only Oliver could get himself bitten by the devil bug and break out in time for school on Monday, then he could do the best Show and Tell in the history of Show and Tells…

Told through comic strips as well as crazy fonts, this attractive book follows Oliver Fibbs: Attack of the Alien Brain. Ideal for those who find reading a chore – Oliver Fibbs offers comic entertainment on every page.
