Corby Flood (Far-Flung Adventures) by Paul Stewart, illustrated by Chris Riddell 214pp RL4



As with the other books in this series, Fergus Crane and Hugo Pepper, this adventure is packed with details - more than I can fit into this review. Paul Stewart provides Chris Riddell with a wonderful world to illustrate, and the lucky reader gets to see those fabulous pictures on almost every page. This book would be a great read out loud, but it is almost better to let your children read it alone and savor every word and picture as they go.
