Floods 5: Prime Suspect [Paperback] Thompson, Colin

**Floods 5: Prime Suspect** throws you headfirst into Colin Thompson's brilliantly bonkers world where the Flood family's latest adventure involves murder, mayhem, and mysteriously misplaced body parts. When someone gets bumped off in their delightfully decrepit castle, everyone becomes a suspect – including the family pet (who may or may not be supernatural).

Thompson weaves dark humor with gothic absurdity, exploring themes of family loyalty, justice, and the fine line between sanity and complete barking madness. Perfect for young readers aged 8-12 who love their fantasy served with a generous side of weirdness, plus adults who appreciate cleverly disguised social commentary wrapped in pure chaos.

This Australian author has mastered the art of making kids giggle while secretly teaching them stuff – sneaky but effective. Genre-wise, think gothic children's fantasy meets comedy crime caper.

This preloved paperback from Patina Paperbacks comes ready for its next adventure.
