"This fun-filled feast of illustrated fiction sees an unsuspecting badger compelled to undertake a top-secret mission to save the world."
Framed by a boundlessly boisterous narrative voice that speaks directly to the reader and is all but impossible to resist, Susannah Lloyd's Badgers Are GO! is a sure-fire, read-in-one-sitting winner of a story for 7+-year-olds who adore madcap animal adventures.
“What-ho, young badgers!” So begins this blast of quirky fiction in typically animated fashion as we’re introduced to the TOP SECRET story of Lulu Whifferton-Rear, a badger who receives a letter informing her that she has “a glorious and industrious future! There is work to be done! And it will be your job to do it!”.
Turns out, Lucy is to be trained to be a “dashed fine pilot” at the Rumpington Academy of Badgering ahead of embarking on a “TOP-SECRET MISSION”.
Dancing with high-stakes hi-jinks, much mayhem and many mishaps, Badgers Are GO! also ripples with a whole lot of humour that’s dashingly enhanced by Nici Gregory's characterful illustrations.

Munchy, crunchy mission adventure.
IT was a cool mission book with the undercover BOPS. The character I liked the most was Lulu as she was the sweet little badger doing her best and becomes the hero at the end.
I loved it when Lulu tried to operate the BOPS and pressing all the buttons it was so funny!
I found the book quite long and it took me a while to read it.... Read Full Review
