Description
Mo Appleby's ordered life is turned upside down when he and his mum move in with his new stepdad and stepsisters, Lottie and Sadie. The home he left behind is just across the street, and there's something not quite right about the new occupant. Other strange new people keep popping into his life, too: a bonkers lollipop man and a boy called Jax, who seems to understand Mo better than anyone else, especially Lottie. Who are the weird new people in their town? Do they have any involvement in the disappearance of Mo's dad many years ago? And why does the ice cream taste so good? Lottie is determined to find out exactly what's going on, even if it makes Mo mad, and even if it leads them both into serious danger...
About the Author
Jennifer Killick always wanted to be a writer, but really started when she applied for a Creative Writing MA at Brunel University. She has now published two titles in the Alex Sparrow series, Alex Sparrow and the Really Big Stink and Alex Sparrow and the Furry Fury, both of which were selected for the Summer Reading Challenge. The third, Alex Sparrow and the Zumbie Apocalypse, is due out in the autumn of 2019. Jennifer lives in Uxbridge, in a house full of children, animals and Lego. When she isn't busy mothering or step-mothering (which isn't often) she loves to read, write and run, as fast as she can.
Reviews
Reviews for Alex Sparrow: 'A brilliantly bonkers, side-splitting, superhero story.' M.G. Leonard; 'Stuffed full of humour, mystery and the unexpected, this hilarious adventure is a laugh-out-loud extravaganza of a read.' Booklover Jo; 'A hilarious, exciting, fun read, filled to the brim with great characters. Alex is confident, smart and completely unself-aware, while Jess is straight-talking, unique and incredibly brave. There are laugh-out-loud moments throughout the book, which make you hope this is only the beginning of a fantastic new series.' Book Trust
