Tumtum & Nutmeg: A Circus Adventure

Author: Emily BearnIllustrator: Nick Price

Following the success of previous titles in this series about the two endearing mice, readers will not be disappointed in Tumtum and Nutmeg’s latest adventure. It is the General Marchmouse’s birthday and all is set for his party – at least it is, until the General, en route, discovers a circus and a toy bus. Just a moment or two trying things out wouldn’t hurt, would it? As one thing leads to another, complications ensue – a bus chase, a robbery, a tank, two mystified children and false accusations are just some of the things that happen… but as with all the books in this series, Bearn ensures a happy ending takes place which is to the satisfaction of all concerned. The mixture of excitement, suspense and secrets will keep Tumtum and Nutmeg’s many fans enthralled once again. A gently humorous, warm and cosy read!
