In an epic tale of courage, valor, and plain idiocy only one thing is sure: The truth is a lemon meringue!… (more)

Main character is a girl

More of the same my gum.
The story is the return of Mr gum to the town and his intention of taking over the town with his hord of goblins (that he found in a cave just outside of the town. If you liked the previous books you will also like this. In terms of series burn out this is not the case for this book it is as good as the first. I note that there are still more books in the series.
The only disappointment was the interesting lists at the end of the others books did not happen in this one.

Extremely funny book (

)

This is the 3rd in the Mr Gum series and is just as wacky and hilarious as the other books. Mr Gum is a thoroughly nasty man who live in Lamonic Bibber and in this book he has installed himself as the King of the goblins on Goblin Hill. Not knowing this, Polly and Friday climb Goblin Hill to battle the forces of evil and encounter a troll, a witch and a thing that looks like a gherkin.
Their outlandish adventure is reminiscent of Spike Milligan’s BadJelly the Witch and would suit readers aged 7 and up. (
