CD 68 Mr Gum And The Biscuit Billionaire – Stanton, Andy (1 CD /1 hour 15 mins) Unabridged
This is weird, wacky and one in a million: a cross between Roald Dahl and Monty Python. Mr. Gum is back in
this second hilarious book and he's as nasty as ever! In fact, he's absolutely grimsters. But this book's not just
about him. Read this book and you'll meet a gingerbread man named Alan Taylor who has electric muscles!
Plus, all our favourite characters are back: the little girl called Polly, the evil butcher called Billy William The
Third, and the very wise man, Friday O'Leary. And, who could forget loveable Jake the dog, or the angry fairy
who lives in Mr. Gum's bathtub and whacks him on the head with a frying-pan?
CD 69 Cherub. Class A – Muchamore, Robert (3 CDs / 3 hours) Abridged
Keith Moore is Europe's biggest cocaine dealer. The police have been trying to get enough evidence to nail
him for more than twenty years. Now, four CHERUB agents are joining the hunt. Can a group of kids
successfully infiltrate Keith Moore's organisation when dozens of attempts by undercover police officers have
failed? James Adams must start at the bottom, making deliveries for small time drug dealers and getting to
know the dangerous underworld they inhabit. He needs to make a big splash if he's going to win the
confidence of the man at the top.
