Latest reviews

I ADORE these stories SO MUCH! They are... just SO brilliant for kids who love comics and super fun stories, like me! Sarah Bowie is A-MA-ZING!

I love this book. Mum bought it for me because of the name of the title! There is a bully called Megan. There is a competition with their pets but there is a twist. The twist is that they cannot choose partners, so Mr Hairyson (Mr Harrison) chooses for Nina and Megan to be partners. However, they loathe each other. They do work together and they get 3rd place in the competition. My favourite character is Nina Peanut, because it is my nickname!

Funny . Megan thinks a paper horse is a real one!!
