Fergus Crane (Far-Flung Adventures) by Paul Stewart, illustrated by Chris Riddell 240 pp RL4


As with all of Paul Stewart's books, he is a master of names, which are almost as descriptive as Chris Riddell's brilliant illustrations. The cast of quirky characters and the imaginative settings, along with some wonderously impossible inventions make for a great read. The all- illustrations epilogue wraps up the story in a very satisfying way.
Hugo Pepper and Cory Flood are the other two books in the series.
