Beware! Killer Tomatoes

Author:Jeremy Strong

Jack's in trouble. Big trouble. Not only is he in hospital with a leg in traction (boring) but he knows the police are coming for him. Because of an accident – a tomato-related accident – involving a supermarket pyramid and an old-age pensioner. Whoops!

Jeremy Strong knows exactly what makes kids laugh, and he's on top form in this very funny detective spoof. A major rebranding and repackaging programme in 2007 will ensure there's not a child in the country who hasn't laughed their socks off with Jeremy!

Rowan Clifford's illustrations add to the fun.

Pullman's writing is spellbinding, his storytelling brilliant.

His Dark Materials wasn't just the best children's book – it was also the most interesting fictional experiment of our times.

An eye-widening fantasy, a scorching thriller and a thought-provoking reflection on the human condition, this is a book that can be enjoyed at many levels.

—— Guardian
