Summary from Egmont
In the dead of the night - when the wind is right - there comes a pitiful sobbing: out of the rumbling, grumbling castle and down the side of the hill...
Who could it possibly be? And what is this terrible secret all about? It seems something dreadful has happened in the tall, tall tower (with the pointy roof) and the only person who can put things right is - you guessed it - our very own honourable, fiesty and courageous young hero, Sir Charlie Stinky Socks!
Nayuleska's thoughts
What I love best besides the detailed, bright and colourful illustrations is the way different fonts are used to emphasize the feel and sound of certain words. The advice on telling the truth is related in a way which isn't one bit preachy. The sturdy flaps which add extra dimensions to the story help make this a 10/10 read.
