Fresh from finding out he – and his mum and uncle Dave – are actually fairies living disguised as humans, Jack maybe shouldn’t have been that surprised to see an actual Bigfoot in his garden stealing his pants off the line. His decision to chase it down the high street in full fairy mode was a mistake however: the number one magical being rule is don’t let humans find out magic is real.
The bigfoot doesn’t stop at stealing Jack’s pants though, it pinches the trolls’ special golden ones too. Now real trouble is brewing and it’s up to Jack and his best friend Charlie to sort it out, especially because they know who Bigfoot really is. It’s a very funny story – with some excellent jokes – and the telling is top-notch, cartoon style with bags of black and white illustrations. Amongst all the humour, McLaughlin manages to deliver a useful message about accepting who you are, before joining the trolls’ Saturday Night Disco (well what did you think the golden pants were for?). Bigfoot, big fun.

About
Jack the Fairy: The Night Bigfoot Stole My Pants Synopsis
A monster has broken into Jack's garden and stolen his favourite yellow underpants. The cheek! Jack sees his chance to flex his new fairy skills and embark on his first ever solo mission. Unfortunately, in chasing the creature across town and leaving a trail of chaos in his wake, Jack breaks every rule in the fairy rule book (you must keep the magical kingdom a secret from humans, no one can know you are really a fairy, and you must NEVER EVER cause a lorry to crash into a take-out restaurant shop, creating a ketchup spillage across the high street whilst in pursuit of a magical creature who has your pants).
Will Jack get his wand back, track down the monster, and make everything right again before he's kicked out of the magical kingdom for good?
Book two in a new fast-paced adventure series, Jack the Fairy from the bestselling author of The Accidental series with magic, fantasy, and fart jokes!
Highly illustrated and appealing to older reluctant readers.
