Hey, I used to read it to the Teen who loved it and I could barely escape out his room unless I read it! We also liked, Master Money – the millionaire, Mr Creep – the crook, Mr Tick – the teacher, Master Salt – the sailors son and heaven knows how many more of the series.
I started the above, but have quite a few to add, but at least its a biginning! Hope you managed the sitemeter ok!
