Tongue-Tied!

Another collection of Jennings’ short stories with their funny, moving, amazing plots and twists and an immediacy which appeals to so many readers – especially boys. This one includes a story about the hugely expensive guppy kept alive in shared exchanges between mouths (a kind of fish kiss), the smell-detector used to catch the ‘Phantom Farter’, the linked story of ‘Popping Off’ where the dog and the old man communicate, and the twin at last able to part satisfactorily from his dead brother. There will be the same laugh-out-louds, ‘listen to this’ sharing of stories and incidents as before and teachers will know the popularity of sharing them with a class.
