Get ready for more wonderfully bizarre antics because Shank's Impossible Circus is back...

There are 7,362 things that Armitage Shank hates and at the top of the list (which includes puppies, rainbows, and lifts) is being made a fool of. So, when he thinks his old nemesis, Queenie Bombazine, ringmaster of Bombazine's Ecstatic Aquatic Splashtastic Circus, is trying to do just that, he sets out on a revenge rampage! Meanwhile, a HUGE revelation sends Hannah and Granny on their own journey to find Queenie-but it's only a matter of time before they all collide...

Filled with slapstick humor and clever word-play, this hilariously wacky and fun adventure is a must for fans of Andy Stanton, David Walliams, and Roald Dahl.

Rezensionen
PRAISE FOR CIRCUS OF THIEVES AND THE RAFFLE OF DOOM
'Writing that is as light on its feet as a human cannonball what really sets it apart is the easy humour, cameos (Granny and Fizzer the dog) and the postmodern footnotes that might flop in different hands, but instead lift the book into classic status. Bring on the next act!' The Times, Children's Book of the Week
'One of the best children's books I've read in ages' Wondrous Reads
'Sutcliffe is a natural storyteller who gets you laughing from page one' Moontrug
'Delightfully funny definitely up there as one of the best' BooksforBoys
'Pure delight the promised sequel can't come too soon' Independent on Sunday
'Funny, Bizarre and brilliantly illustrated by David Tazzyman, this is perfect for anyone who loves Mr Gum.' Sunday Express
