Another wild ride with Tom Weekly as he faces off against killer muffins and more. 'Like Dahl, Bancks is passionate about inspiring a love of reading in the young by placing fun at the centre of his storytelling.' Andy Griffiths, author of the Treehouse series I'm Tom Weekly and eating is my favourite sport. My mum's raspberry muffins are weapons of minor destruction. I've been trapped inside a runaway car on a trip to buy ice cream. I accidentally invented meatball bungee. And my recipe for chocolate mousse has a secret ingredient that you don't even want to know. What would you rather do? 1. Ride a shark or a rhino? 2. Kiss a dog or a cat? 3. Needle in the eye or bum set on fire? "Fans of Griffiths, Gleitzman and Jennings will be thrilled to have this in their collection." Kids Book Review ______________________ More Praise for Tristan Bancks- 'Reading Tristan Bancks is like jumping on a rollercoaster - fun, exciting and a bit dangerous, too. Where were books like this when I was a kid?' John Boyne, author of The Boy in The Striped Pyjamas 'A tense, hard-edged, no-holds-barred thriller.' Anthony Horowitz, author of the Alex Rider series 'A high stakes adventure that will keep you guessing and breathless until the very end.'
