When George McDuff's garden is overrun by snails there seems no hope for his cabbage patch. Enter Darren Winterburn, entrepreneur and boy next door. Armed with torch, jamjar and a pocketful of spinach, Darren's mission is to rid the garden of snails, from the dinkiest tiny whorler to the mightiest cabbage buster. But when Mr McDuff refuses to pay for Darren's services, a snail beyond his wildest imaginings slithers along to exact revenge. It's big, it's slimy and what's more it talks! Stand by for a close encounter of the gastropodic kind. Get ready for The Snail Patrol! This hilarious, anarchic book, is wonderfully illustrated by Philip Reeves, himself a prize winning author!
