The FREAKY comic world collides with three FEARLESS kids in an explosion of fun, action, laughs and adventure!

Simon Moss aka Mossy loves action comics and wishes he was brave enough to star in one. His best friend Whippet is also a fanatic - especially for the really freaky ones. The boys have their own powers as gifted storyteller (Mossy) and artist (Whippet) - and together they find themselves thrown into an adventure straight out of a comic book.

But it's up to the world's coolest girl, craftiest inventor and smallest explorer - Lucy Shufflebottom - to kick the boys into gear. Can they track down the mysterious beast that has kidnapped Mossy's younger sister?

Freaky and Fearless by Robin Etherington is a magical, hilarious adventure packed with fun illustrations - perfect for fans of Tom Gates and Dork Diaries.

Just read the Beano recently and feel it's changed. There's a female Muslim character (and another? who loves drawing). It feels politically correct AND loveable. I feel like it's providing good messages - not just mischief. Quite tempted to subscribe to it for my grandson.

My son is trying to get me to buy a load of back copies of The Phoenix. Nothing about that appeals to me from what I've seen of it.

The Beano, above all - a family tradition since the very beginning.
