This is weird, wacky and one in a million: a cross between Roald Dahl and Monty Python. Mr. Gum is back in this second hilarious book and he's as nasty as ever! In fact, he's absolutely grimsters. But this book's not just about him. Read this book and you'll meet a gingerbread man named Alan Taylor who has electric muscles! Plus, all our favourite characters are back: the little girl called Polly, the evil butcher called Billy William The Third, and the very wise man, Friday O'Leary. And, who could forget loveable Jake the dog, or the angry fairy who lives in Mr. Gum's bathtub and whacks him on the head with a frying-pan? This book will have you crying with laughter!
Mr Gum and the Biscuit Billionaire

About the Author
Andy Stanton lives in North London. He studied English at Oxford but they kicked him out. He has been a stand-up comedian, a film script reader, a cartoonist, an NHS lackey and lots of other things. He has many interests, but best of all he likes Radio 4, books and music (even jazz). One day he'd like to live in New York or Berlin or one of those places because he's got fantasies of bohemia. His favourite expression is 'Good evening' and his favourite word is 'captain'. This is his second book.

check amazon UK for reviews - looks as good as the first,
By TD (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mr Gum and the Biscuit Billionaire (Paperback)
A tip for others like me: I loved the first Mr. Gum book but I couldn't find any reviews of the following books in the series to see if they're worth ordering. But since it's British, there ARE reviews on Amazon UK! Check here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gum-Biscuit-Billionaire-Andy-Stanton/dp/1405228156 Based on those, I feel confident to buy this next one, or maybe all of them. Only the British adults who are probably as open minded as a bag of sticks gave it bad reviews, but even then they admitted that kids love them. The truth is a lemon meringue!

9 year olds favorite of all time!,

This review is from: Mr Gum and the Biscuit Billionaire (Paperback)
My 9 year old devoured everyone of these in the series. Recently he wished there were more books in the series. I highly recommend these especially if you have a stubborn reader. The humor appeals and the style is written so they can move through the book with little frustration. I rank these up there with Magic tree House, Suzie Kline, and Harry Potter in terms of my children's all time favorites.
