Mr Gum and the Secret Hideout Stanton, Andy and Tazzyman, David

**Mr Gum and the Secret Hideout** - because every kid deserves a proper bonkers adventure!

This gloriously silly tale follows the wonderfully wicked Mr Gum as he discovers a mysterious hideout that's definitely up to no good. Andy Stanton serves up his trademark blend of absurd humor, ridiculous characters, and delightfully daft plot twists that'll have young readers (ages 7-11) absolutely cackling. Think Roald Dahl meets Python-esque wordplay, with David Tazzyman's brilliantly bonkers illustrations bringing every mad moment to life.

Perfect for confident readers who've outgrown picture books but aren't ready for serious stuff - this modern children's comedy classic celebrates the joy of complete nonsense. Stanton, a former stand-up comedian, knows exactly how to tickle funny bones with his award-winning series that parents secretly enjoy too.

This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks is ready for its next adventure!
