Bryan Brain and his sidekicks Icky and Stinky have found themselves in a world sans adults. There's been an alien invasion - well, there was an alien invasion some books ago, actually, but it doesn't really matter - and all the grown ups have been sucked up to populate an extra-terrestrial Space Zoo. This leaves Earth's children to their own happy devices. Bryan, Icky and Stinky, therefore, live a remarkably fulfilling existence that involves fighting, making a mess, building models, eating lots of herby dumplings, and having the odd adventure to fill in the boring moments. It's all rather jolly.
It's a consumable - they'll probably read it and forget it, but they will laugh, and they will repeat the jokes, and they will have read something that is actually worth reading. Recommended for a library borrowing; particularly in the case of reluctant readers, or those needing to develop confidence.
My thanks to the nice people at Hodder for sending the book. We also have a review of [[Stinky Finger's Deadly Doll of Death by Jon Blake]].
Daren King's [[Sensible Hare]] is probably intended for slightly younger children and is even wilder and more surreal, but is on much the same lines.
