Review
Wells is a master of writing and illustrations in the picture book format. In this new tale about Fiona and her friend Felix readers are entertained by an elaborate lie which is embellished with false accusations. The text is simple enough for early readers yet the theme is sophisticated and genuine. The author employs the assistance of a caring teacher and an understanding friend to clarify the situation leading to a heartfelt apology.
The illustrations are adorable including those of the imaginary vampires. Who knew that guinea pigs could be so cute?
Overall Book Score: very good
