This book had kids laughing. That is a win for me. It is a great feel good , fantasy and adventure story. Perfect length for a quick read aloud.
All 3 of my girls loved this book. They found it funny and loved the character names. Miss 12 read it to myself, Miss 9 and Miss 6 and they all had a great time re reading individually too.
Some Tom Fletcher and David Walliams vibes.
A few more illustrations inside would have been a great addition.

Aww the “Wicked Witch of All things East”, lives at the end of The Great Rainbow!
She flies a turbo broomstick with a sidecar and but hasn’t passed her broomstick test!
As a Grandma I always love to read to my Grand Children.
I requested this story as it was mentioned on one of FB Book Groups. I listened to the ‘Audio Excerpt” and it sounded great.
I requested it and yes the illustrations are cute and it was a fun quick read!
However, it was an e-book and not an audiobook. I was disappointed I couldn’t hear the audio performances of the characters.

I still want to thank NetGalley and Troubador Publishing Ltd. for granting me this eGalley.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for letting me read an ARC of this book.
The story takes place in The Golden Land of Jiggly Pots, and follows the witch Verruca and her Bogus Buisness associates on a trip to strike a buisness deal with Russell Sprout. Hijinks quickly ensures in the form of pirates, misunderstandings and more.
I would however have wished, that there were more illustrations in the book. More pictures of the people, places, and the plot itself, would be able to grab the attention of many more children.
But even without more drawings, it is still a quirky and funny little childrens book, that everyone can enjoy.
This is a great book to read, especially around Halloween time. It’s funny for children and grown ups alike, and I loved the character names - my favourite has to be Russell Sprout!
The illustration on the front cover is fab and if some more were included inside the book then that would make it even better!
I know when we read books at our school Book Club the students love any illustrations within the story!
Bogus Business Unlimited is a lovely book with a delightful illustration on the cover. It is well written and myself and my 4 year old son enjoyed it. I think it would have benefited from some illustrations to keep young children's interest especially as the cover illustration was so enticing.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my ARC.
The cover of the book is really beautiful. It adds a Halloween theme without being spooky for younger children. While this book is children’s fiction, it is a fun read for all. The names of the characters and places were very unique and added additional humor to the story. There were interesting twists and turns. One thing that I felt might have enhanced the younger reader experience would be a few illustrations. I would definitely recommend this fun, fantasy adventure.
Thank you to netgalley as well as the author/publisher for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest review.!!
I enjoyed this book very much and I’m sure my younger sister would love it. It was funny but not in a forced cringe way. I read it in one setting and found it really enjoyable. Personally I would have loved some illustrations added to the story to keep the younger reader more engaged, but I still enjoyed it a lot.
I picked this book to review as the cover looked spooky for a 4 year old for Halloween Spooky Tales
The cover he was really interested in, when we started to read we discovered it was short stories.
The fish fingers part really made him laugh so much.
Our only negative would be he would have engaged more if there was some visuals to accompany this book.
Children’s fiction but funny to read for all.
The only thing I miss is some cute drawings or graphics for children to enjoy the book more.
The story is well written and will talk to the imagination so you can think in pictures while you go on your adventure, but I have an niece who needs pictures/drawings to support the text or else she gets lost to the text ☺️ So that’s my only feedback to the author to take in as an advice.
Kids now a days should be triggered more to read but due to dyslexia or trouble with their own imagination, drawings can help to understand what they read, and so they will enjoy it more 💕
I definitely recommend this book, it’s funny, fantasy, adventure, feel good 💕
Thank you to NetGalley and Troubador Publishing LTD for an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.
This was such a cute, spooky, halloween themed read that's perfect for the current autumnal season. It was a really interesting and gripping story which I overall, really enjoyed.
