So while nothing new, ''Gadgets'' is still a fun read, with enough humour and wacky characters to entertain anyone under twelve. Fans of Marcus Sedgwick's older titles will probably be underwhelmed, though, as it doesn't come near the creepiness and clever plotting of his YA books.
I'd like to thank Orion Publishing for sending a copy to The Bookbag. We also have a review of [[The Raven Mysteries: Diamonds and Doom by Marcus Sedgwick]].
For more books of this sort, try Angie Sage's [[Ghostsitters by Angie Sage|Ghostsitters}}. It's often hilariously funny. More of a girl-book, though. Boys will prefer [[The First Escape (Dopple Ganger Chronicles) by G P Taylor|The Doppelganger Chronicles: The First Escape]] by G P Taylor, an action-packed mixed-media offering that's not as funny but quite as silly. Or if you're looking for something seriously scary, read one of Chris Priestley's [[:Category:Chris Priestley|Tales of Terror]]. I loved the first two, and Bookbag loved the third and newest (which I haven't read yet but am positively dying to), so have at 'em!
