This madcap book with two humorous
and fast-paced stories is co-authored by husband-and-wife team, Bill Condon,
and Dianne Bates. It is illustrated by Cherie Dignam and published by IP Kidz.
Here are the stories:
‘Hardnut Hannigan and the Jewel
of the Jungle’
Harold Hannigan’s parents knew
their baby was different when he fell out of his cot and landed head-first
on the floor. He was unhurt, but the floor had a very large dent in it. From
that day on, Harold was known as Hardnut Hannigan.
Hardnut amazed the world with
his extraordinary deeds; he climbed Mount Everest, without an oxygen mask; won
an Olympic marathon; swam the English Channel – underwater – and much, much
more! But now, at the age of 12, he had run out of adventures to challenge him.
Then he read about a long-lost, incredibly precious jewel in the remote and
deeply dangerous jungles of Mongo-Wongo. Many a daredevil had tried to find
this fabled treasure, and all had failed. That wasn’t going to stop Hardnut!
With his faithful emu Thunderbang and his beloved pooch, Itchybutt, he set off
on the greatest adventure of his young life! Would he ever find the Jewel of
the Jungle? And even if he did, would he live to tell the tale?
‘Captain Offensnotty and the
Giddi-Giddi Zombies.’
Get set for a rollicking
adventure with Captain ‘Potty Dotty’ Offensnotty and the crew of the Concrete
Slug! Not far into the voyage the crew discover that their captain
is sneaking off at night to her home sweet home, which she has secretly towed
behind the mother ship. While the crew has to survive sleeping fifteen to a
bunk, their crafty captain lives a life of luxury, nibbling chocolates and
watching television! Enraged, the sailors stage a mutiny, but before they can
reach their captain, they first must get past her cat – which is very big and
mean. They face a fierce feline battering, but it gets even worse
for them, because next, the hapless crew are attacked by a sailor-swallowing
sea serpent! Can they possibly survive? Perhaps, but even if they do, there is
one more terror awaiting them - the ferocious flesh-eating Giddi-Giddi Zombies!
