All the best stories end in disaster, don’t they? If, like most kids, you love tales where everything goes wrong, you’ll enjoy every moment of Faster, Lola, Faster! Described in a beguiling combination of breezy rhymes and bloodcurdling pictures, here are seven episodes from everyday life – all of them heading inexorably towards the most catastrophic conclusions imaginable: what could be more fun? You’ll bump into little Lola out on her bike, who is Public Enemy Number One on the neighbourhood pavements; Konstantin, who’d much rather be running about on his own than holding his mother’s hand; Lisa, who adamantly refuses to brush her teeth: at first, you’ll think they are all quite normal. Just you wait and see…
Fright and delight are combined with a mischievous touch of schadenfreude in this fascinating book for fearless kids and faint-hearted parents – or should that be the other way round?
