Louiseog Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I read this a while ago and did enjoy it. Think that his nemesis is him five books ago. Love the gadgets but missed Root Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 Yes, that was a sad loss, but he's still there in spirit, in a way, as the characters obviously miss him, which was a nice touch - too often in kids' books, characters that are gone are also forgotten, but not this time!

Kell Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 I take it you've read all the other ones too, DWMG? I'm a huge fan - can't get enough of them. I have the 1st one in paperback, but I've managed to get all the others as prezzies, so they're in hardback & they all sit, looking lovely on my shelf together. I'm certain there'll be at least one more - they can't just introduce a fab new character & then not do anything else with her later on - so I think that when I find out when the publication date is I shall re-read all the others again before I get it - just to keep everything fresh & up-to-date.
