Queen of King Street

Description

Unlucky Bertie has only gone and gambled away the entire family fortune. It's the last in a long line of disasters, and nobody is going to save the Montgomery family this time. But this is no ordinary family - this is the royal family, and Bertie is the Queen's brother. So it's goodbye to the palace and hello to a little house on King Street for these royals. Who knew getting jobs and fitting in with the neighbours could be so hard? It's time to sink or swim!

"Another hilarious tale with a political, satirical twist, but this time written with emergent readers in mind" -- Big Issue North "Delightfully silly and very funny, but actually full of useful life lessons too" -- LoveReading4Kids "Packed with Tom's trademark, irresistible combination of slapstick and subtle humour ... A triumph of chaotic and comedic storytelling" -- Jo Clarke "A laugh-out-loud funny book" -- Worlds Smallest Library, blog
