quirky and mad capped

I I was asked to review by Nudge

This is a really fun book for 9-12 years but equally entertaining for the adult (or child within the adult)

A girl called Hyacinth and her  Mother  move to London. Her Grandmother gives her a book about the sewers of London for a going away gift ( a strange gift I hear you say- this is a strange story) She finds out that they are not at all right. They move to a flat that her family owns. there are plumbing issues in the bathroom, there is a problem with the tap. Then the fun begins.

It is rather mad over the next 36 hours - there are Sewers, giant pigs, talking mosquitoes in tuxedos and all added to the mix- her mother is kidnapped and it is Hyacinths quest to get her back.
Magic water, good and bad who do you trust?

A really funny story well written with sprinkles of magic and some mad capped characters.

I do hope I will see kids on sun beds reading this book, just watch your taps.
