The Very Dangerous Sisters of Indigo McCloud

LoveReading4Kids Says

Daft adventures and evil siblings abound in this zany story. ‘The Very Dangerous Sisters of Indigo McCloud’ by John Hearne follows the acrobatic Indigo as he tries to put a stop to his sisters' dastardly deeds and horrid acts of intimidation. This is a whacky narrative, with Indigo and his friend Polly working together to prevent Peaches from threatening their new neighbours the Tripes, over a girl scout contest to sell the most calendars. In classic children’s fiction fashion, all the adults are easily manipulated by the evil Peaches, oblivious to the goings on or, in the case of Peaches hired henchmen, a little bit useless. It’s up to Indigo to continuously put himself in harm's way to foil Peaches’ plans. There’s plenty packed into this middle grade story, with lots of action and jeopardy. Indigo and Polly are very well-equipped to try and take on Peaches, with Indigo’s urban gymnastics and Polly’s seemingly endless supply of spy-style earpieces. The town of Blunt is unusual, with places like the Big Hairy Spider Emporium and events like the Ingratitude Parade which I’m sure will entertain readers. Descriptive and quirky, this is a jam-packed chapter book that fans of David Walliams’ books would enjoy.
