MEDIA REVIEWS
For any readers who LOVE whodunnits,Montgomery Bonbon is the book to read! The funniest detectives in children's fiction - I loved it so much. Put on your fake moustaches and join the murdery fun!Montgomery Bonbon and ABK have struck again with another hilarious crime-solving mystery. I didnt think Alasdair's writing could get any funnier but somehow he did. The Montgomery Bonbon series is such a brilliantly comical series that I genuinely believe is equally enjoyable for both middle grade readers and adults alike. Also who doesn't love a locked-room mystery that is super satisfying to try and solve. 5-stars easy!The writing is very accessible to students and the illustration is adorable.Sometimes detective stories for children may come across as being a bit bland,but this one is definitely a fun-filled read.From the moment I opened the book I couldn't stop smiling. I fell in love with the writing style straight away - quirky,humorous and light hearted.The cheery wit and humour are just as strong here as they were in the first book - plenty of good puns - creating a charming and fun world that just happens to be filled with murder and mystery that will keep readers guessing and wanting more.
