Mr Gum is a truly nasty piece of work—he can’t stand children, dogs, fun, or even corn on the cob. But this isn’t just his story. There’s also a furious fairy in a bathtub, a brave girl called Polly, and a very good dog named Jake. Throw in some sweets, chaos, and a heap of adventure, and you’ve got the start of something absolutely bonkers. (Book 1)
