Fun in a Library - Rated 
Will and his brother Marty are doomed to spend their holidays in the Library. This library has a formidable librarian in Mrs Murphy, otherwise known as Spud Murphy, legend has it that she has a gas-powered Spud Gun behind the desk and she wields a mean rubber stamp.
It's over the top and cool and fun and I almost empathise with Mrs Murphy. There are some kids I'd like to limit to a small patch of carpet and throw things at when they misbehave but that really wouldn't go down well with the powers that be!
The illustrations add well to the story and it's quite charming, the way that the two boys find that reading is in fact fun and start enjoying being in the library was heartwarming, particularly for a librarian.
What an amazing book! - Rated
My seven year old daughter came home with this book from school. She asked if I would read it with her. It's perfect for children of her age and indeed for their parents too, as by halfway through I had to stop reading as I was crying with laughter.
My daughter said to me that all childrens books should be funny, because children like to laugh and this book certainly fulfils that expectation.
Enjoy!
Promoting the joy of reading - Rated
This is a great short book for 7ish year olds. An easy to read novel for younger readers who are developing confidence with chapter books. The story is a wholesome and heartwarmimg tale of two troublesome nippers who, (after creating havoc at home during the holidays), are sent to the place of their worst nightmares .... the library. However, this library is patrolled by no ordinary librarian, for Spud Murphy, (armed with a gas powered spud gun), is a ninja-black-belt-librarian. Skilled at sneaking up, having eyes in the back of her head and knowing what you are going to do, before you've even thought of it. With nothing else left for the children to get away with, they have no choice but to read the books. It all turns out well in the end and is all in good fun.

I borrowed the book from the library after my friend recommended it to me after reading it I re read it twice in one hour its funny moving and generally youve just got a classic author This book was excellent and I would definetly recommend it to anyone who just needs cheering up its not a book for five year olds just because it short! Its a funny book that i would reccomend to all ages it may not be the age range for adults but I can bet you they will enjoy it anyway. I reccomend it as A MUST BUY!!!!!!!!!
A Great Read for 5-8s! - Rated 
Will and his older brother Marty are reluctantly sent to the library to do something a bit more 'educational' with their summer holiday. But the library holds a much greater danger than just paper cuts. It is home to the legendry Mrs Murphy who uses a gas-powered, potato-shooting gun on children who cross her. The well known tales of poor 'Ugly Frank' and the Ninja Librarian make the Woodman boys dread even stepping inside the building.
Whilst the boys sit and pretend to read, an odd thing happens...they begin to take notice of the books surrounding them and find that the dreaded Spud Murphy isn't so dreadful after all.
This is great writing from the Author of the 'Artemis Fowl' trilogy. It is a fast-paced, easy story with a good mix of humour and action to suit younger readers. It can also be used as gentle persuasion for the reluctant reader to brave the horrors of the library. (Suitable for Ages 5-8)
