Give It A Go! The Bad Guys in the Furball Strikes Back

By Aaron Blabey (Scholastic)

If you haven’t caught up with the Bad Guys yet, then you really don’t know what you are missing!

Written and illustrated by Aaron Blabey, of picture book series ‘Pig the Pug’ fame, ‘The Furball Strikes Back’ is the third instalment of the adventures of Mr Wolf, Mr Shark, Mr Snake, Mr Piranha (who is NOT a “mutant sardine”!) and Legs the Tarantula as they attempt to become ‘good guys’.

This time they come face-to-face with Dr Rupert Marmalade, the Billionaire Mad Scientist, who is out for revenge after our heroes saved 10,000 chickens from one of his chicken farms. Oh, and who happens to be a guinea pig.

Will they upset Marmalade’s evil scheme? And who is the mysterious ninja?

This entertaining and light-hearted story is perfect for confident and reluctant readers. The comic strip layout, line-drawn characters and hilarious storyline make this a great read for primary children – and for adults too!
