Reviews

I read <i>My Headteacher is an Evil Genius,</i> and thought it was hilarious and clever and laugh-out-loud funny, with many snort-worthy jokes and delightfully bonkers bits. I loved the drawings, and how the text and images danced around each other, and I didn't mind spilling my drink guffawing explosively at some of the sharp wordplay and silly puns. A delight to read, and definitely one I'll recommend!Thomas Taylor, author of Malamander, Thomas Taylor, author of Malamander
