This book is delightfully funny and would stand alone as an entertainment without the support of a famous name. John Noakes retells a childhood fantasy spun for him by Mr Brookes. Mr Brookes, John and assorted friends set out to destroy the secret factory of an international villain, Baron Wilhelm von Doppelganger. They go by magic clog, sustained by sandwiches and equipped with sophisticated espionage gear (a box Brownie camera on a pole) and Eric's braces (indispensable for rescuing John's kidnapped sweetheart). Toni Goffe's cartoon-like pictures add to the fun. Useful for tempting reluctant readers in the junior or even middle school.
