Hamish and the Neverpeople by Danny Wallace – review

Hamish and the Neverpeople is the hilarious sequel to Danny Wallace’s earlier novel, Hamish and the WorldStoppers. It contains the familiar faces of the original characters and more!

Hamish and the Neverpeople is about Hamish’s quest to find his father. On the way, he and his friends accidentally discover Other-London, a world full of your opposite halves! Hamish has to team up with Holly, his doppelgänger, to save the world from Axel Scarmarsh!

I was lucky enough to receive a proof copy of this brilliant book from Guardian Children’s books. Though this copy had only one illustration, it helped me imagine what the characters looked like. I’m looking forward to seeing the fully illustrated version.

Hamish and the Neverpeople cover

I would recommend this book for 7-10 year olds. I guarantee it to be a fun read for any reader. I give this book 10/10 for its gripping plot and sidesplitting jokes. Also, I would say that reading the first book will help you to understand the plot.
