One of the 8 titles longlisted for the Guardian Children's Book Prize 2011.
Prize-winning Andy Stanton’s disgusting Mr Gum has gone missing in this new zany and hilarious adventure set in that most unusual of places, Lamonic Bibber. Mr Gum hates children, animals, fun, comics, pop music, Christmas etc . In fact, Mr Gum hates anything and everything that children might enjoy. When a disgusting cloud of filthy smoke threatens Lamonic Bibber it is not hard to guess that Mr Gum has something to do with it. How Polly and Friday go about their investigations to find out what’s going on is as hilarious as ever.
