The Legend of Spud
Murphy |
||||||||||
|
Anyone who has ever read the "Artemis Fowl" series of books will already appreciate Eoin Colfer's skill in fast moving and downright hilarious storytelling, whatever the subject matter - and "The Legend of Spud Murphy" is no exception. To get them out of their mother's hair for the summer holidays, Will and his big brother Marty are packed off to the library, the home of the dreaded librarian Spud Murphy, who uses a spud gun on kids who put a foot wrong. Eventually, Will and Marty discover a love of books and that Mrs Murphy isn't so bad after all. With just five neat chapters, starting with Ugly Frank, the poor kid who earned his name as a victim of the legendary librarian's spud gun, this little story leaps along with enough boys' action to appeal to them, and enough cute humour to keep the girls happy too. |
