About this listen

Jasper Spam is mad about science. The problem is that his experiments tend to end in a bang - until one day Jasper manages to invent something that will change the world forever...the world's first talking cat.

With his newfound wealth, Jasper can finally live the life he's always dreamed of - buying a mansion and a sports team and producing a Hollywood blockbuster. But is there a huge price to pay for bringing talking cats to the world?

4.5 stars

Loved the Accidental Prime Minister (after Tom's picture books grew too young for us). So much I read it myself, then to my eldest son, then to my youngest son a few years later. Didn't realise there was a whole series of these (currently available for free on Audible, parents!) so picked one that sounded like a 14 and 8 year old boy would both like it on our journeys to school.

They did. You can't really go wrong with a story about a boy called Jasper Spam who's blown up more than one school with his mad inventions. Jasper lives with his cat Rover and pensioner Gran, who has to clean a rich man's house to keep them in cheese on toast. Things are tight.

So when Jasper accidentally finds his newest invention (when aimed just at the right spot...) leads to Rover being able to talk, well... the sky's the limit for the Spams! Surely nothing can go wrong and they'll live happily ever after in gold-plated luxury?!

You've guessed it. There are spanners thrown in the works. It's great fun all round. I LOVED Gran's West Midlands accent in the Audible edition (as a Wulfrunian myself). I loved Jasper's mad ideas and loved Rover's personality. I also loved that previous 'Accidental' books and characters are featured here as well.

A good moral or two about money not being everything. And friends and family sticking together.

McLaughlin does seem to know what stories and characters will appeal, and there's a lot of 'laugh out loud moments' here as well as a great central trio of Spams you want to see again.

For ages 7-11.

Good
The narration sounds bad at first but you get used to it
The story is a little odd but good
So all in all its a good book I think
Do get it but if it doesn't look good for you don't feel like you have to
Thanks for reading

Great-ish

I found it a lovely story with a lot of tension but ImI thought the performance of the story could be better. I felt Andy Cresswell could have put the slightest bit more expression into his retelling of the a story but only the slightest.
