Bliss! A lovely, quiet, nothing-to-do and nothing-on-the-calendar Sunday ...
Aunt Susan – an unstoppable force and possibly the bossiest woman alive – is on the phone and that's never good. She's insisting that Harry and his family help her at a local event she's promised to organise: the Great Toadpool Show. It means swinging from a trapeze. Walking on stilts. Riding a unicycle ... And that's not counting the fortune-telling tent, the tombola or the choir sing-along.
Unfortunately, Harry and his family can't really do any of those things. Aunt Susan has no idea of the mayhem she's about to unleash.
'An enjoyable blend of adult knowingness and subversive silliness, enhanced by expert illustrations by Kate Aldous that fit the story scrupulously.'
Sunday Times
'Fine has a rare genius for building a funny, enriching and moving story around the nuts and bolts of school life.'
