funny adventure with great characters
-- Books Ireland
Milo and Shane make for very relatable protagonists as they are just two normal boys trying to do the right thing - but not necessarily feeling brave about it! For us, the real hero of this story is the friendship and loyalty displayed between the two boys who are truly there for each other no matter what wacky situation they find themselves in ... These are great books for young readers, with easy to follow language, engaging storylines and believable protagonists. It's also a brilliant book to get young boys into reading, as Milo and Shane are characters that most will relate to and understand. Like many boys, Milo and Shane seem to have a knack for finding trouble - even when they're not looking for it!
