Product Description

Billy, Nicola and Mr Gopal are off to India in a flying boat to solve a baffling mystery! The gum that comes from the wonderful bubblegum trees that grow in the Indian jungle has not been delivered for two months. Without this secret ingredient, there'll be no more Gopal's Best Pink Bubblegum, and even more importantly, no more Bubblegummies - the people who live in the trees and harvest the gum. It's not an easy mystery to solve - and soon the friends are involved in a bungee-jumping, tiger-trouncing, woodcutter-walloping, bubblegum-blowing adventure!

Customer Reviews

boys' fantasy and the parents' dream
as a parent, we struggle to interest my young sons in reading. But one day we picked up Bubblegum Tree from the local library by chance and boys did not want to part from the book even in the bath. I myself failed to understand why "Touching tiger's tail" could be so intriguing to them, nonetheless the book was a big hit and we are going to buy some more books by the same author.

Brilliant for 6 year olds
Always looking for something that i can read and enjoy with my 6yr old twins. This book has to be one of our more successful finds! I'm so pleased to find that this author has written so many kids books because i'm confident that we will now have a supply of great kids' stories for some time. We loved 'The Doghnut Ring' too. Buy this book to read and enjoy with your kids; you can't go wrong!

Best so far
