Elys Dolan’s follow-up to the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize shortlisted 'Weasels' is fantastic. This is a riotously funny space-based caper, involving a crew of woodland animals on a mission to return home after securing the Lost Nuts of Legend. Everything turns a little calamitous though – the Star Nav is broken, the map has been chewed, and everyone is getting a little hungry... Using a style that combines traditional story layout and plenty of character captioning, what results is a story that can be read in a variety of ways. 'Snippety' and funny, this is ideal for all children, but especially those who struggle, or are a little reluctant when it comes to longer form reading. The detail on each spread means that it is an absolute joy to pore over, and there is no ‘wrong’ way to approach it. (You are a genius, Elys Dolan, truly.) There are a lot of references for Star Wars and Star Trek fans, but what will wash over a younger reader’s head really doesn’t matter as it is so engrossing in the picture detail and humour. Read it through, read it backwards, spot details you’ll have missed, and laugh heartily. There's not much else to wish from a reading experience, is there? Go on. Treat yourself. Go a little nuts.
