About this listen

‘TWINS IN CANDY-STORE CRIME SPREE’...

I know what you’re thinking. Tearaway teens.Yadda yadda. Maybe you’re right. But we’re all out of choices. Last time we made headlines, Beau and I were six-year-old ‘wonder twins’. Little kids found alive in the woods after three days missing, looking for our dad.

We’ve just hit sixteen and life’s not so wonderful. In fact, it sucks out loud. Still no Dad. Still lost. Still looking. But now we’ve got a clue to where Dad could be. Everything’s changed. It’s a long shot, but we’ve nothing left to lose...

A wild, fast-moving and darkly funny story for older children from acclaimed author C.J. Skuse.

Contains strong language and adult themes.

I love all the CJ Scuse books, I have listened to them all, but the only reason I let this one run to the end is so I could review it and what’s more, this is the first bad review I have written for any book. It’s as if it is a completely different author, none of the hilarious dark humour. I appreciate I’m not the target audience, but I’m not for any of her books and still loved them. This book promotes and sensationalises everything bad about American celebrity culture and junk food, it weak, predicable and just awful, it’s meant for pre-teens but heroizes robbing sweat shops and junk food. Please just take it off the market, just ruins a brilliant authors reputation.

Weak storyline, nothing really happens and what does is predictable. Enjoyed the sweetpea series. Fell flat to me

Not usual calibre for Skuse sadly
