About this item
There is something cheesy going on in the kingdom of Great Kerfuffle! . The rascally BADgers have escaped from jail again and they made an amazing discovery--a pizza mine! They love eating it, of course, and selling it to make money to fund their villainous plots. But theres a big problem: the Loose Pebbles library is tipping over without all that pizza to hold it up. And if it tips any farther, the entire island of Great Kerfuffle will flip over into the ocean! . So its up to Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face to save the day. But even with a shopping cart disguised as a horse, secret agent sunglasses, and an elephant who walks by at just the right moment, a surprise thats bigger and badder than ever throws them for a loop.. Will the island of Great Kerfuffle be no more? We cant tell you, because that would spoil the story!
About the Author
Award-winning author John Dougherty was born in Larne, Northern Ireland. He studied psychology at university and then tried his hand at a number of jobs including YMCA hostel worker, factory machine operator, and unsuccessful singer-songwriter, before becoming a primary school teacher (elementary school teacher if you're in the United States, which he wasn't) .Whilst John was teaching, his interest in children's literature was reawakened and he soon began writing stories and pestering publishers with them. After the publication of Zeus on the Loose (2004) he left teaching and took up writing full-time, only with more tea breaks than most full-time jobs.His books have won or been shortlisted for a number of prestigious awards (and chosen as Books of the Year by some very important newspapers) , but, more importantly, they make children giggle.
