The Legend of Spud Murphy by Eoin Colfer
A comic, fast-paced, quirky novel by the author of Artemis Fowl, but scratch the surface and you find a surprisingly serious message…
Two brothers are sentenced to spend their holiday in the library, in a bid by their parents to keep them out of trouble. But the library is ruled by the tyrannical Ms Spud Murphy, with her gas-powered spud gun and long list of library rules. Yet through their ordeal, the brothers discover a surprising love for reading.
