Buster Bayliss: Night of the Living Veg by Philip Reeve1: Night of the Living Veg
Buster Bayliss is being forced to stay at his Fake Auntie Pauline's house in the flowery spare bedroom while his mum's away - it's a fate worse than death. Probably.

Buster Bayliss 4: Custardfinger by Philip ReeveBuster Bayliss 4: Custardfinger
Buster Bayliss is not keen on journalism. He never asked to be a fearless investigative reporter on the school newspaper - it was more that he got volunteered. Forcibly. Now his Fake Cousin Polly is going to make his life a misery until he turns in a gripping article on the new school dinner ladies. And she's probably going to want it spelled right, as well. It's not even as though dinner ladies are interesting! Gingham overalls, hairnets, mouthfuls of gold teeth and lots of stubble - all dinner ladies look the same, don't they?

ISBN: 9780439980904. Paperback. £4.99
