Mr Gum in the Hound of Lamonic Bibber

A massive savage biscuit of a dog is terrorising Lamonic Bibber — or is it? Nothing in this town is ever quite what it seems.

There is something enormous and terrible prowling the streets of Lamonic Bibber, and everyone is scared. Polly and Friday are on the case, Mr Gum is being awful, and Andy Stanton is doing that thing where the words themselves seem to be having a better time than anyone. This fourth Mr Gum adventure is packed with the anarchic, self-aware comedy that has made the series a genuine children's classic.

Mr Gum books are genuinely unlike anything else — they celebrate reading as an act of anarchic joy, with a narrator who knows exactly what he is doing and wants the reader in on the joke at every turn.

A brilliant read for children aged 7–10 who love comedy that respects their intelligence — and for any child who has ever laughed at a book so hard they had to explain to an adult what was funny.
