The other wonder is why such a perfect recreation of sort of Midwich Cuckoos / Stepford Children fiction is hidden in the middle of a franchise such as this, but we can only be grateful it is. It is a gem tucked away in a garish sleeve, and despite that should become an innocent pleasure for the parent reading their children's books for an hour or two. It's perfectly PG stuff, and ideal for the under-11s. It's a volume that shouts out, to quote, ''Cheer and clap, then, you idiots!'' as it revels in its own brilliance.
To recap, unnecessarily, this is rather strongly recommended. Five stars is the only option. From the same series we also have a review of [[Spacemite (Monster Makers) by Ali Sparkes|Spacemite]].
Another book for confident readers which has recently taken our fancy is [[Kenny and the Dragon by Tony DiTerlizzi]]. We also have a review of [[Rockataur (Monster Makers) by Ali Sparkes]].
