Book description
Bliss! A lovely, quiet, nothing-to-do and nothing-on-the-calendar
Sunday . . .
Well, that's until bossy Aunt Susan - an unstoppable force -
is on the phone insisting that Harry and his family come down to help
her a local event she's promised to organise: the Great Toadpool Show.
It means swinging from a trapeze. Or walking on stilts. Or riding a
unicycle . . . And that's not counting the fortune-telling tent, the
tombola, or the choir singalong.
Aunt Susan has no idea of the mayhem she's about to unleash.
Anne Fine has been an acknowledged top author in the children's book
world since her first book was published in the mid 1970s, and has now
written more than forty books and won virtually every major award going,

Award, the Guardian Children's Fiction Award, the Smarties Prize and
others. Anne was appointed the Children's Laureate from 2001-2003. She
lives in the North-East.
