This Irish import will please children who want an over-the-top bully book jam-packed with adventure. This novel is wacky, awesome, and terrifying. It hits the right balance of ridiculous and real, but a sibling trying to kill a sibling is still intense and may be a specific fit for prepared readers.
An energetic addition to all collections, but it’s not all fun and games; this could spark serious conversations about rights we take for granted and lead to a conversation on civics. Or, just enjoy the humor, the diversity, and the inclusion of so many different kinds of children in the pursuit of happiness.
