Description

The side-splitting sixth installment of the Mr Gum series Mr Gum's back! But what's he up to this time? Oh, dreadful things my friends, dreadful things indeed. Seems he's found himself a brand new treat—rancid kebabs just dripping with dirty grey sauce. And he just can't get enough of them. He's gotta have more! More! LESS! I mean, MORE! But not everyone's too happy about Mr Gum's new dinnertime arrangements and soon the town of Lamonic Bibber is gearing up for war. Can Polly and her friends save the town from being torn apart? Will Mr Gum's hunger ever be satisfied? And who on earth is Thora Gruntwinkle? Readers will find the answers to these questions, and they'll also see a gingerbread man driving through London, an annoying little monkey driving everyone mad, and Friday O'Leary falling asleep in a hedge!
