The Broken Leg of Doom
Pamela Butchart, illustrated by Thomas Flintham
(Nosy Crow)
£6.99
Izzy is quite certain that bad things come along in threes. At least that’s what her Mum has always said. Today bears that out, with the loss of her Twix and then Jodi’s insistence on EXTREME DANCING. Look at how that turned out, with Maisie feeling dizzy and then falling with her leg crumpling into a weird shape! Now she’s in hospital, with a huge cast and a strange boy with a feather in his hat telling her friends that he saw a curse disappear into her cast!
There’s a lot about Seb’s story that seems to ring true. For a start Maisie’s on Ward 13 (and everyone knows that she hates 13), and then there’s the fact that Jodi’s eating egg sandwiches, and everyone knows she loathes them! Then there are all the strange Mummy bandages, the sprinklers going off and the whale-nap of Francisco (Maisie’s stuffed toy humpback whale). It all looks to be the work of The Broken Leg of Doom.
Is it possible that Izzy, Jodi and Zach can rid Maisie’s leg of the curse? Thereafter, what will it involve- after all this is a fairly suspicious, creeped out, group! Pamela Butchart and Thomas Flintham return with a laugh-out-loud (headphone wearing while screaming), incident packed novel, in The Broken Leg of Doom.
