When Amy arrives home for her birthday tea, her parents have vanished and in their place is a baby she's never seen before. At around the same time Sprocket wakes up naked on a deserted mountainside and realises that he has lost his memory. Both kids set out on journeys to find the people they belong to, little knowing that they will soon join forces and embark, with the baby, on the deadliest quest of their lives. Morris Gleitzman writes Amy's story and Paul Jennings Sprocket's, with each of them contributing alternate chapters.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Um...,
By Nikki (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Deadly!: All six books in one! (Paperback)
These authors pride themselves on being weird, and this book is no exception. This has honestly got to be the strangest book I've ever read. From the nudist colony, to the guy getting 'pregnant', to the mum kissing her daughter's friend. Don't expect too much deep and sentimental stuff from this book, and don't even begin this book if you can't cope with non-realistic fiction.
Paul Jennings and Morris Gleitzman have officially written the strangest book ever, however it's a good fun read (probably for over 10), and it keeps you enthralled till the very last page with it's ever changing, unexpected plot. An amusing and good read for tweens to younger teens.
