Book description
Marvin cannot get to sleep. It's late, the ground is hard in Nick
Tuffle's garden, he is far too full on cake and he has drunk too much
punch. Then he hears a low humming noise. He feels the earth shudder
beneath him and there is a bright flash - sort of the same colour as the
green icing on Nick's birthday cake. Is he dreaming or was that a flying
birthday cake, candles aglow? Perhaps something much stranger is on the
horizon . . . Louis Sachar is the author of the international
bestseller and award-winning
Holes

City

and the Wayside
School
books. Louis Sachar lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife, daughter and
two dogs.
