Ned Mutton likes smashing things up! This foul little boy loathes his parents, his neighbours and nearly everything else. He likes being vile, pulling the legs off spiders and kicking small dogs. One day Ned meets another like-minded boy whose father is an unscrupulous property developer. After proving himself a willing vandal, Ned is sent on a mission to smash up an old frozen food factory.

‍

But legends tell of pale monsters who haunt this building and who slice the fingers off all they catch. And now Ned has found them and they want more than his fingers. They want something so terrible that it could change the fate of humanity. Join Ned and a host of deranged allies and demented enemies to see if he really can save the world from the Fiendish Fish Finger Conspiracy.

‍

Ned Mutton and the Fiendish Fish Finger Conspiracy embraces slapstick comedy and has a fantastically original storyline. Ned’s side-splitting scrapes and crazy adventures captivate readers page after page, as the hilarious fish-finger plot unfolds:

‍

‘This time, Ned shouted. “You two, stop this!” He stomped between them and, like a tiny referee before a boxing match, gave them his thoughts. “Now listen. We’ve been sent on a mission to get fish fingers and that’s what we’re going to do. This is a top-secret mission and we can’t have morale fall apart, can we? My mum and dad are in there.” He pointed back to the chiller factory. “And I want to get them free and the only way I’m going to do that is to get twenty boxes of fish bloody fingers for your boss, so stop this nonsense and come on!”

‍

Well-written with a great comic dialogue, the author has created a host of delightfully devilish characters, including: the foul Fabien, Melton Mowbray III (a despotic bully and head snowman) and the deranged inventor, Lionel Frampton.

‍

While Ned is a cheeky chap from the start, it is impossible not to love him and back him on his quest to save the world and his transformation, from lovable rogue to fish-finger hero, will have readers laughing out loud. And, like many a great book, Ned Mutton and the Fiendish Fish Finger Conspiracy has a moral heartbeat at its base, an anti-bullying theme hinted at early on when Ned’s mum brusquely warns him:

‍

“One day, Ned Mutton, you will regret being a bully and being cruel to things. All bullies get what’s coming to them. You mark my words, young man.”

‍

This is an amusing, action-packed story crammed with japes, jaunts and jokes. It also has a charming conclusion when Ned’s journey to fix things and find friends comes off.
