A great book which is full of adventure especially the part when they found a new member of their society. My favourite person I liked the the best was Koko . It interest me because it was silly and funny in a good way. I would recommend it to my friend Amelia.

This author makes me laugh a lot I am now reading some of his other books

The main character, Rory Rooney, is the best because he has cool abilities - I won't say any more! If I could change one thing, I would make there be more funny comments - there are plenty already, but Frank Cottrell-Boyce is great at jokes!
I would recommend it to people who love Jamie Smart books and other funny Phoenix writers.

I think it’s a funny and exciting book and I would recommend it. My favourite part was when they let the animals out of the zoo and when the hippo had a fight with the freezer.

You’d have thought this book was written in 2020! It wasn’t, but if you haven’t ever read this book, do read it now. Memorable characters and story masterfully written by Frank Cotterell- Boyce are enhanced by charming illustrations by Steven Lenton. 📚❤️🌟

This was very adventourous and fun to read

This was a hilarious story about a boy who turns green one day and believes he has super heroic powers (although the Killer Kitten virus and locked down London are weirdly prophetic given the present pandemic!) Rory, the main character, lives his life using advice from the book ‘Don’t be scared, be prepared’, and he has many uses for it in this action packed story. I would recommend it to any 7+ year old who loves a super hero story ( and a chuckle).

This is a strange story with lots of interesting characters.

Another amazing book by Frank Cottrell-Boyce. It talks about a boy, Rorey Rooney, turning green! Nobody knows why, but he thinks he's a super hero. Its a really enthralling and funny story, all the characters have a personality which makes you remember them, and some have really funny personalities. It's a funny, amazing book and I strongly recommend it. There's even a little penguin!

This book was funny. My favourite character was Rory Rooney.

I like Frank Cottrell Boyce's humour but it has just enough silliness to make it a wonderful read. My favourite character was Tommy-Lee Kommisky because he's really funny.

27 Aug 2018

This was a great book . I would recommend this book for ages 8+ as it is a bit to complicated for young people. When a ordinary boy turns green, he discovers he has superpowers but can he and his 2 friends (Who are also green) save Christmas from the terrible disease of the Killer Kittens.
