A mysterious gizmo brings wildly unexpected consequences to the lives of the children who encounter it in this collection of four Paul Jennings stories. Theft, bad behaviour and ordinary decisions take startling turns as the device appears to exert a peculiar influence of its own. Embarrassing situations become stranger, familiar surroundings seem less reliable, and getting back to normal proves anything but straightforward. Illustrated by Keith McEwan, the stories combine visual comedy with Jennings's taste for bizarre transformations and uncomfortable surprises. This omnibus gathers all four Gizmo adventures in one volume, offering a sequence of separate escapades linked by the same troublesome object. Readers can expect fast-moving situations in which a small action may produce a very large and very peculiar result.
