The Fiend Next Door

Trouble with the Fiend is a sequel to My Best Fiend, both by Sheila Lavelle. These funny, poignant and timeless adventures of Charlie and her best 'fiend' Angela are reissued by popular demand for girls aged 6 - 8s.

Angela has a knack of getting Charlie into trouble. She's always having fiendish ideas, like the time they hijack the milkman's float, and lock Miss Bridge in the gym shed, and when Angela pretends to kidnap a baby. But in the end Charlie gets her own back with a vengeance.

Friend or fiend life is never dull for Charlie when Angela is around!

Reviews

I dislocated my jaw laughing

—— Eoin Colfer, author of Artemis Fowl

228/10 - That's an understatement.

—— William, age 10

Wicked illustrations that will help you tackle silly dangers. Made me laugh out loud and I know my friends at school will love it!

Awesome jokes that made me laugh out loud ... one of the funniest books I have read.

—— Isla, age 9

I loved it because it is full of hilarious pictures . . . such as TEPOC - the Emergency Page Of Calm. Make a copy of this page and show it to your Mum when she is getting stressed!

—— Ross, age 10

Loved it! Really enjoyed it - favourite chapter was the danger pets

—— Jennifer, age 7

This book is very good for boys as it contains scary and rude things. . . !

—— Tomasz, age 9

Brilliantly silly

—— Sunday Express

A star turn that will amuse smart seven-year-olds, 17-year-olds, and, in our experience, 47-year olds . . . well-paced and funny throughout

—— Time Out London

A surreal, daft and funny book . . . A bracing satirical sideswipe at today's health-and-safety culture, aimed at kids who'll get the irony and relish the silliness.
