A class trip to Farm View outdoor survival centre is one thing, but can Roman Garstang survive a chicken-nugget-only diet? It's time to put his new survival skills to the test...

The Chicken Nugget Ambush is the latest Roman Garstang disaster from the hilarious Mark Lowery. If you enjoyed The Jam Doughnut That Ruined My Life, you'll love this next installment of Roman & co, perfect for children aged 9- 11. We have 50 copies of this laugh-out-loud tale to give away so head over to the giveaway page to snap yours up now!

The giveaway ends on 20 June so apply now! You don't have to win a free copy to take part in the discussion. Anyone who has read The Chicken Nugget Ambush can post their (and their children's) feedback on this discussion thread. If you miss out on a free one, you can buy a copy. All who post feedback here before 5 August will be entered into a prize draw to win a £100 Love2shop voucher.

This was a really funny book and an easy read. Its probably most suitable for ages 8-10 and we will be passing it on to the school library now that we've enjoyed it. The story is set during a school residential trip and I think lots of children will identify with the story and the slapstick type of humour in the book.

What a funny book!!! My daughter will be giving it to her school library when we get back in September so we can share it with loads of kids !

It amused the kids so much they want to read it all again!

Carriecakes80 · 01/08/2016 11:27

My daughter really loved this & read it with 24 hours! Roman Garstang is a great little character and this was actually quite funny, not laugh out loud funny, but it definitely puts a smile on your face! (Well, it did when I read it to my youngest!) x
Great little book! x

Dessallara · 31/07/2016 22:23

I'm loving it, first page made me laugh, haven't finished yet though, but it is great, easy to read when relaxing before bed. I'm probably childish ;D

smit23 · 31/07/2016 21:11

It's a lovely book, went down very well with our boys!

meggysar · 31/07/2016 20:48

My niece absolutely loves this book.

Lydia30 · 31/07/2016 20:12

My youngest says she read it in school and thought it was funny

toodles60 · 31/07/2016 18:33

A really funny book about a boy called Roman who will only eat jam dougnuts. His mum makes him eat chicken nuggets instead and this makes for some hilarious reading. Great story with amazing characters :)

dirtypop · 31/07/2016 09:45

they loved it, great fun

Bellroyd · 29/07/2016 05:00

This went down very well with a use of humour that certainly appealed to my grandson. It was his 'book at bedtime' all last week. Have since bought him The Jam Doughnut That Ruined My Life for his next birthday.

CordeliaScott · 28/07/2016 09:31

Thank you for my copy of this book. It is a great book and very funny.

janjan29 · 27/07/2016 21:39

Not much a review I'm afraid....my daughter says "it's really good"
