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. It would have been better if there were a few more pictures.
A really funny book.
Badgers are Go! is about Lulu Whifferton-Rear, a young badger who gets a letter to attend a school called Rumpington Academy of Badgering to train as a pilot. There she meets the Head, Major Musty Rumpington who keeps shouting at her as she keeps daydreaming about going back home and flying as a pilot high up in the sky. She is to train as a pilot of a human-shaped machine. In Badgers Academy they help humans do the important jobs by making robots disguised as humans and operated by badgers. Lulu meets Wilfred and they become best friends. He believes in her but she feels she doesn’t fit in.
Lulu discovers that Very Important humans like the Prime Minister are actually BOPs - Badger Operated Persons. Something in the Academy seems strange including the new student Albert but Lulu puts it down to her imagination. Their very first mission is coming up and Lulu is petrified.
What I like most about this book is that it is a really funny book. Who knew cheese and tomato sandwiches and glue sticks could be so hilarious? The illustrations are so good and helped tell the story.
Badgers are Go! would be perfect for fans of the Dave Pigeon, Bad Panda and Grimwood series.
