My Friend Nigel



The award-winning creator of The Talent Show, Jo Hodgkinson, has created a hilarious tale about the magic of friendship!

When Billy rescues Nigel the snail from his parents' pongy magic spells, they become great friends. Billy's parents don't understand the friendship, and try to tempt Billy by conjuring up other weird and wonderful pets. The problem is that they've never been very good at magic . . .

Praise for My Friend Nigel

The Talent Show has been much admired and My Friend Nigel is another to please.

The School Librarian

Exuberant illustrations perfectly complement the pacey rhyming text. Quirky characters are a delight and the riotous scenes are packed with amusing details and visual jokes. There is excitement at every turn of the page.

Books for Keeps ***** REVIEW

Vivaciously illustrated and full of colour, energy, rhyme, animals and magic, this is a story with all the right ingredients to make it a favourite.
