Author:Eoin Colfer,Tom Farrelly
The abridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Eoin Colfer's hilarious tale, Benny and Omar, read by Tom Farrelly.
In my old school, we had fighting, no pool and there'd be vicious matches against the other schools . . . I miss all that stuff!
Moving to Africa is the worst thing that has ever happened to Benny Shaw. No one plays hurling (the best game on the planet) and the local school is run by hippies who like to talk about feelings. As if.
But when Benny meets wisecracking Omar (the name's Bond, James Bond Omar) who only speaks English in TV catchphrases, he decides that maybe life in this new country can be fun after all . . .
The book to buy for daughters . . . It would make a fine stocking filler with its lively, entertaining, illustrated snippets about the great women in history and the restrictions that they overcame, and will arm readers for arguments about gender equality
—— Nicolette Jones , The Sunday TimesA little ego-boost for the girls . . . a reminder, from the Bayeux Tapestry to gladiatrices, no less, of women's achievements, told in Sandi's trademark zany, accessible style
—— Irish IndependentMy grandchildren will be getting this in their stockings . . . It's funny and full of facts that may surprise parents too. In a world of hollow celebrity it is a timely polemic that warms my feminist heart
—— Sheila Hancock , The TimesThere's a mass of facts and information of all kinds . . . The result is a book which will make girls realise that anything is possible - and that women have already done most of everything already!
—— Julia Eccleshare , Love ReadingWould make fascinating reading for men too . . . Girls are Best is packed with fascinating facts with which to wow friends. It is an education and a revelation, a great book to dip in and out of and to learn from
—— Write Away!It's a controlled riot of invention, with a plot that embraces everything (or so it seems) from pork pies (some on sticks) to man (boy)-made floods . . . A laugh on virtually every one of its 180-odd pages
—— Chris Stephenson , CarouselBursting with silly situations and hilarious antics
—— Bournemouth Daily EchoA real delight
—— Bournemouth Daily EchoThe perfect book to provoke a smile.
