Review
Underneath the high-octane humour and silliness, Earle weaves in powerful themes of father/son relationships, bullying, depression, self-esteem, failure and even frustrated career women. But mostly of love. This is a gloriously life-affirming novel: funny, sensitive, intelligent and with a heart as big as George's waistline. (Daily Mail)
Masses of humour, heart, some cracking jokes and moments of real poignancy (The Bookseller)
A light-hearted, funny story with a nail-biting conclusion ... The story whizzes along, while Sarah Ogilvie's humorous line drawings are a perfect complement to the text. The first of a promised series, Demolition Dad will be enjoyed by even the most reluctant of readers (The School Librarian)
The writing is laugh-aloud funny, as are the antics ... this book has jokes that will appeal to adults and kids alike (Kieran Fanning)
A heart-warming story with a very happy ending. The multiple award-winning Sara Ogilvie and her scratchy comic drawings make a perfect foil for this lively and affectionate story. (Books for Keeps)
This book was so fun my parents got angry I wasn't coming to eat lunch! (Cara The Guardian)
A warm, funny and genuinely touching story of family relationships, in a lycra wrapping (Andrea Reece Love Reading 4 Kids)
The author creates a chatty relationship with the reader, with nifty asides and jokey puns as he weaves a quirky and frankly ridiculous story ... a very funny book for 8-10 year olds, who, I'm sure, will love it (School Librarian)
Phil "BOOKCRUSHER" Earle has written one funny, fabulous, pile driving BLAST of a book. (Read it in Lycra for full wrestling experience.) (LIZ PICHON, author of TOM GATES)
Sara Ogilvie's beautifully drawn illustrations add real life and humour (DAVID TAZZYMAN, illustrator of MR GUM)
