Author:Alexander McCall-Smith

A funny and poignant children's story from one of the world's most prolific and popular authors Alexander McCall Smith.

It's all about hamburgers!

Joe has just created the yummiest, juiciest, most delicious hamburger ever - and his friend Mr Borthwick wants to sell it in his hamburger shop to try and win back customers from the new fast-food place across the road. But there's a problem - Joe has completely forgotten the recipe...

A pinch of this, a touch of that and a spoonful of something else...the race is on for Joe to remember!

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!

—— Robyn, age 8

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.
