Susannah Lloyd’s first chapter book is an absolute hoot!

Dreamy Lulu Whifferton-Rear is abruptly carted off from the peaceful woods to the Rumpington Academy of Badgering; there to discover that important humans are actually Badger Operated Persons (BOPs) – and she’s been picked to be a pilot! Before she knows it, she’s on a top-secret mission to achieve WORLD PEACE whilst somehow trying to get the Prime Minister BOP to eat a cheese-and-tomato sandwich convincingly.

Packed with cute, detailed illustrations and fun wordplay, Badgers Are Go is a fantastic read-aloud (our library book club is loving it!), with lots of opportunities to “do the voices” for a cast of characters that crosses Dad’s Army with The Worst Witch. The double agent is telegraphed very early in proceedings so readers will have great fun despairing of the grown-up characters, who are completely oblivious to the sabotage going on, whilst rooting for little Lulu to find her courage and save the day.

With an explosive finale, Badgers Are Go is sure to entertain readers from 6-8 years old.
