Malcolm is in all ways an ordinary ten-year-old. This is a perfectly ordinary story featuring one perfectly ordinary ten year old, his very bossy uncle, some baked beans, a school which tries to make interesting things BORING, the famed Italian city of Ponky, and a genie who appears when you rub your nose. It also includes lots of very useful facts, many of which are untrue.
The first of two titles about Uncle Gobb. Malcolm is an ordinary ten-year-old, but a combination of his uncle Gobb, some baked beans and a genie is all that's needed for chaos to ensue. Ages: 7-9yrs. 'Ramshackle and silly in the best possible way' "Financial Times"
Hilariously irreverent.
