We are enjoying reading this together at bedtime but not at the end yet so I will be back to report later. So far so good though and loving the illustrations :)

We received ours and we (DS is) are still reading it, he seems to be enjoying it now but it took him a little while to get into it. He loves the illustrations, he's still at the stage of wanting pictures in the books he's reading. I'll check back in when he's finished reading it.

My 8 year old daughter loved this book. It is easy to read and has great illustrations. She now want to read the other book 'Saving Granny Maggot'. Highly recommended and thanks for the giveaway.

A fun, enjoyable read, thank you very much.

Easy to follow plot with amusing, likeable characters. The illustrations throughout the book were incredible, especially the little snail. The only downside was the title of the book which gave the game away. There would of been more suspense and curiosity if the phrase Son of Grim was excluded.
