The side-splitting sixth installment of the Mr Gum series features Mr Gum's return, as he develops a newfound obsession with rancid kebabs covered in dirty grey sauce. His insatiable appetite leads to conflict, as the town of Lamonic Bibber prepares for war. Amidst the chaos, readers will follow Polly and her friends in their quest to save the town, uncover the identity of Thora Gruntwinkle, and witness bizarre events such as a gingerbread man driving through London, an irritating monkey causing trouble, and Friday O'Leary dozing off in a hedge. Will they manage to satisfy Mr Gum's hunger and restore peace to the town?
