The Secret Five and the Stunt Nun Legacy

John Lawrence

4.9/5 (12987 ratings)

Description:With hints of Jasper Fforde (and a passing nod to Enid Blyton and her contemporaries), The Secret Five and the Stunt Nun Legacy is a comic novel, a surreal parody of children’s adventure stories aimed at adult readers in which, unnervingly, the time-travelling characters are aware of their place in the narrative, and the author treats them with curmudgeonly disdain. The plot, creaky and with more holes than a Swiss cheese, is the vehicle for the quirky and unusual humour which is packed onto every page.Our young-adult heroes – Betty, Daniel, Ricky, Amy and their dog Whatshisname – think that they live life on the edge, dominated by secret passwords and meetings. They have a tetchy relationship with Whatshisname, who might just be cleverer than they think; they also have a tetchy relationship with the author, who definitely isn’t. The characters sometimes become uncontrollable – Ricky walks out of the book at one stage and, at another critical point, Daniel demands that his character should wear spectacles. A feeble attempt by the author to kill off his characters fails miserably.This book for adults is crammed with humour, occasionally a little cheeky, never offensive, but always unashamedly silly.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
