More great reads: the best books for 7 year olds
Prize-winning Andy Stanton’s disgusting Mr Gum has gone missing in this new zany and hilarious adventure set in that most unusual of places, Lamonic Bibber.
Mr Gum hates children, animals, fun, comics, pop music, Christmas... In fact, Mr Gum hates anything and everything that children might enjoy. When a disgusting cloud of filthy smoke threatens Lamonic Bibber it is not hard to guess that Mr Gum has something to do with it. How Polly and Friday go about their investigations to find out what’s going on is as hilarious as ever.

Hey, do you like hearing 'Mr Gum' read out loud by a complete idiot? Well, then, you're in luck, because - for your entertainment, amusement and annoyance - every single word of these audio books is spoken by ME! And not only that, but these recordings are absolutely JAM-PACKED with silly voices, weird sound effects and utterly ridiculous songs (sorry about my singing, by the way, it's appalling). So there you have it - what are you waiting for? GET LISTENING, YOU NIBBLEHEADS!"
