Description

This scuttling, six-legged story will leave you bug-eyed with laughter.

Dagenham: a normal,

quiet, friendly suburb.

UNTIL NOW...

Enter the neighbours from hell!

When the Cadwalladers win $40 million in the lottery, they blow up their house, install a landing pad for their GX-26 fully-automatic helicopter and throw wild parties night after night. For the Judge family, this means war. Using Emma's latest invention, Toby and Emma unleash five Butterfly Cams, one Death Squadron and a buzzing, biting, creeping, crawling army. Time to invade!

If you find this book dangerously over the top, side-splittingly funny, or in any other way unsafe, press the Eject button at the end!

Reviews

is likely to entrance pre-teens with its fast-paced action and outrageous sense of fun.' Cameron Woodhead The AgeThe story moves quickly and except for the mum wearing nappies and the dad having to giver her nappy changes allthe time, it's pretty much believable. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants a good laugh.'Tristan, aged 13, Melbourne - YARA
