Customer Reviews

The Perfect Book
I love this book. I bought it for my son to read and ended up reading it myself. I couldn't stop after the first page (just to see if it was good). It's a great read, great fun and ideal for both girls and boys. If you buy one book for your kids this year for Christmas, this should be it.

An Absolute Masterpiece
Being an Phillip Ridley fan i think highly of his books but this book is just amazing. The character Ziggy Fuzz is wrote so well you can just imagine him being a real person. The story is one of his best. This is a book you can just read cover to cover and not get bored. This is a book you would go on reading. This is an amazing read and well worth the money. You will never put it down!!!!!!!

A masterpiece.
The cover of this book reflects the storyline: colourful. It is a wonderful adventure in colour, and the descriptions of these "scribbles" are magical. The characters in the book are brilliant, all very unique. I don't think anyone except Philip Ridley could think of people like these. This book is a rollercoaster of emotions, with a fantastic ending. I must recommend this to all children and adults, as it is one of those books that makes you feel really happy.
