Hooey Higgins
Welcome to a land called Shrimpton-on-Sea where the folks are a bit unusual and you can make friends with Hooey, Twig, Will and Dingbat the dog. Are they naughty, slightly scruffy boys? Yes they are. Will they do anything for a few quid? Yes they will.

He is on top form in a tale about three boys building a bouncing boat. Emma Dodson's explosive illustrations add to the fun. -- Nicholas Tucker * The Independent on Sunday *

 

...existing fans of Hooey will not be disappointed. New fans will welcome the continued slapstick which permeates the book at every twist and turn - and will be rolling around with laughter as things continue in that vein. Reluctant readers will find that this book is worth picking up for a good laugh. A welcome addition to the class library. * Books For Keeps *

 

The quirky illustrations add to the humour and give life and laughter to an already funny and fast moving text * Carousel *
