Reluctant Reader
A famous mad scientist lives next to Boffin Boy's friend Polly, and she's not a good neighbour. Not only does she keep planting weird trees, but the trees look suspiciously like dogs and people. When Katt wiggles through the fence to explore, Boffin Boy and Polly follow to save him from crazy Doctor Daffney. Can they escape without becoming one of her barking mad experiments? Featuring our familiar heroes Boffin Boy and Wu Pee, this is another in the hugely popular series of 'Boffin Boy' graphic-format stories. With its wacky humour, low level, accessible text and great, manga-style illustrations, Boffin Boy is ideal for reluctant readers.
