Shortlisted for the Week Junior Book Awards 2023

A prize-winning picture book author and illustrator, Nadia Shireen is just as skilful at writing junior fiction, as this inventive, hilarious story shows. Fox siblings Nancy (the tough one) and Ted (the sensitive one) are forced to flee the big city for the countryside after Ted accidentally bites off pussycat boss Princess Buttons’ tail. Grimwood, where they find themselves, is a kind of paradise it seems, full of friendly if eccentric animal residents who love nothing better than a good game of treebonk. Ted feels right at home, Nancy needs convincing, but when Princess Buttons arrives, bent on revenge and armed with a Brain Zapper 3000, and their new friends step up to help, she changes her mind. It’s gloriously silly but still totally credible and a proper page turner, while Nancy and Ted are real characters. Watch out for the wonderful asides from woodlouse Eric Dynamite, and Princess Buttons’ comeuppance is an absolute treat!

Read it in one go because I couldn’t stop myself from cutting off all the laughter that it brings.

It’s one of the greatest and funniest books I’ve ever read. I read it in one go because I couldn’t stop myself from cutting off all the laughter that it brings. Willow and Ted are my favourite characters. They are young and fully of merry-ness. Willow takes Ted on a tour of Grimwood and there are lots of funny lines. And I love the Fairybeast-o-meter. It makes me want one for myself.... Read Full Review
