The Inflatables (Paperback): Beth Garrod, Jess Hitchman The Inflatables (Paperback)
Beth Garrod, Jess Hitchman; Illustrated by Chris Danger
R162 Discovery Miles 1 620 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Welcome to the Have A Great Spray waterpark! There's slides, rides and fried ice cream, but that's not the real attraction . . . Meet Flamingo, Cactus, Donut and Watermelon - four inflatable pool floats who live in an almost-forgotten pool next to the Lost-and-Found office. They may have been left behind by their original owners, but that hasn't stopped them becoming firm (well actually quite squashy) friends. And of course there's Lynn too, the traditional blue Lilo who has been floating around since the park opened. She's been there, done that and got the puncture. But things don't always go to plan when you're filled with air and live in a park packed with pointy things. From Walter S. Lide - the ruthless park owner - to Claws and Paws, the park's stray cats, everyone is out to burst their bubble. With each day bringing a fresh wave of drama, life with the inflatables is always guaranteed to BLOW UP! Featuring TWO stories: Bad Air Day and Mission Un-poppable. A funny, sunny, splash-tastic new series for readers 6+, featuring a gang of loveable pool floats! Perfect for fans of The Bad Guys, Bad Kitty, Spongebob and Toy Story. "A pun-tastic, abundantly silly graphic novel for 6+." The Guardian

What if you suddenly had everything you'd ever dreamed of? That's exactly what happens to 10-year-old Joe Smith in this hilarious, brand-new comedy adventure from bestselling author, comedian and presenter Danny Wallace, with illustrations throughout from Gemma Correll. Perfect for children age 8+ and fans of David Baddiel, Stephen Mangan, David Walliams, Andy Griffiths, Jenny Pearson and Helen Rutter. Joe Smith is average in every way. He is average height. He lives in an average town, on an average street, in an average house, with a very average family. But when a survey identifies him as the most average kid in the country - well that makes him very special indeed. Suddenly, everyone wants Joe to test out their latest products. Overnight he is sent mountains of gifts - the best trainers, the coolest bike, the most exciting new tech, the latest flavours of ice cream - and so much more. He gets special cinema screenings and the entire water park all to himself. Joe now has everything he could possibly want in the world - and that's far from average. But is going from zero to hero all it's cracked up to be? This brilliantly warm-hearted, laugh-out-loud family adventure will leave you thinking about friendship, family and why everyone is special just the way they are.
