Other people might not, but I think this is a kind of love book, which includes a war of meat and slime. Polly and her pals go to see Thora Gruntwinkle (Billy William’s true love) and bring her back to Lamonic BIbber, so that Billy will turn towards the good side and the Dinnertime War may be over. But it’s not as easy as that.
Mr Gum has stopped liking Billy William, and has turned onto Greasy Ian, another butcher in town. It turns out that not only Billy William liked Thora G., but also Greasy Ian was her long lost husband!
This book was quite funny, but I wouldn’t say as funny as the last ones, but even though it lost a star, I still loved it. I have no idea how Andy Stanton could possibly even think up these funny-but-serious ideas!
Unfortunately, I think there’s one or two left in the collection, and when I finish these, I’m going to kill myself. Or just read them again 😉
