You’ve got to love Harry Riddles. A boy who faced with the challenge of the Aqualand Kamikaze slide emails Alan Eustace, holder of the world record for free-falling from space, for advice! Harry’s life is a series of challenges but he’s resolutely optimistic: now playing the drums in a band, and worrying that a fellow band-member is making moves on girlfriend Jessica, he’s still happy to email Michael Eavis for a booking! Harry’s good humour is infectious and his life, as described in his emails, letters and messages, provides endless opportunities for humour. Nikalas Catlow’s black and white illustrations are extra fun and these satisfyingly chunky books are quick and cheery reads.~ Andrea Reece

I've written to a load of famous people who might be able to help me sort out my problems who knows if they will write back. We'll see. Good luck and have fun. Harry Riddles Follow Harry's hilarious ups and downs told through laugh-out-loud letters, emails, texts and more! The third book in this hilarious middle-grade series.
