Mr Gum
Mr Gum is a mean, grumpy old man with "two bloodshot eyes that stare out at you like an octopus in a bat cave. He hates most everything including children. Our heroine - the kind nine year old Polly - must try to stop Mr. Gum's evil plots in this hilarious series.
"'Smooky palooki! This book is well brilliant! Andy Stanton is far too clever and funny and should be locked away in a very dark place that nobody can find.' (Jeremy Strong) 'Worryingly splendid' (Guardian) 'Great! The children thought Andy Stanton was hilarious and this was a real worthwhile learning experience. I am so glad we watched it. They [the children] are even more interested in the Mr Gum books now!' (An audience member at Authors Live event, Glasgow 2011)"
