Description
This is a GREAT book! Funny, charming, original, secretly educational. - Adam Kay
Funny, arty and just a little bit naughty, the Art Avenger is amazing! - Matt Lucas
Very funny . . . I learned tons about art and laughed A LOT - Joe Lycett
A laugh-out-loud illustrated adventure featuring Trixie Pickle, the Banksy of her school.
A weird sickness bug has been spreading through Wormwood Town, and everyone is wondering if there's something in the water. Trixie Pickle Art Avenger: Toxic Takedown uses the power of art to investigate - can she get to the bottom of the mystery around the town reservoir?
She's got a lot on her plate - being bored to sleep by Money Week at school, making comics with her best friend Beeks, and finding a way to bring down the local mean girls. But with artistic inspiration from Botticelli, Damien Hirst, and Kehinde Wiley, the Art Avenger is sure to win the day.
Highly illustrated throughout by Olaf and with fact files of hilarious and irreverent details about real artists such as Yayoi Kusama and Hokusai, Trixie Pickle is perfect for fans of Konnie Huq, Sam Copeland, and Liz Pichon.

About the Author
Olaf Falafel is an author, illustrator and a stand-up comedian (which is pretty similar to a stand-up chameleon except he doesn't change colour to blend in with the background). He's the winner of The Funniest Joke of the Edinburgh Fringe and has created and performed several stupidly named comedy shows including Olaf Falafel and the Cheese Of Truth. As well as trying to make people laugh on stage, Olaf draws a lot and tries to come up with funny ideas for kids books. He also has an Art Club on Youtube full of real drawing tips and facts about famous artists. In 2019 Olaf visited 100 schools in 100 days - and then put his feet up and had a cup of tea.
