This was so much fun! This will be an absolute joy to read aloud to younger readers with the most adorable and wildly over the top characters. It's like Chicken Run meets Dad's Army, and by jove, I thought it was hilarious!

Rounding up from 3.75. A very cute, clever adventure story to read as a family or for 7+. Love the concept of badgers operating human robots with the aim to achieve world piece. Love little Lulu who doesn’t think she’s meant for this high stress world of rules and regulations, just creativity and her little woodland home. But she might be just what they need to save the day!
One critique is the action came in a bit late for me, but it is pretty clever and funny! I think this would be a great outloud family read.

There are some books that as soon as you see the cover you know they are going to be fun to read, and this is one such book.
Lulu Whifferton-Rear is a young badger who loves to scamper about woodland glades, listen to birdsong and daydream. Lulu loves to mind her own badgery business, but when she discovers that important humans are actually BOPs (Badger Operated Persons), she is thrust into the world of the Rumpington Academy of Badgering.So she is rather taken aback when she’s summoned to the Rumpington Academy of Badgering to undergo specialist training, before embarking on a Top Secret mission to secure world peace.
When she reports for duty, Lulu worries that she’s not like the other badgers, who are all terribly keen, efficient and competent. Nevertheless, she’s determined to give it her best shot. She discovers that, for many years, badgers have infiltrated the human world in the form of mechanical Badger-Operated Persons, or BOPs, in order to bypass human incompetence and Get Things Done. This particular mission involves the deployment of the British Prime Minister BOP, who must persuade all world leaders to sign a global declaration of peace. However, not everyone wants an end to war, and a dastardly double agent intends to use an unwitting Lulu to sabotage the peace deal. Can Lulu overcome her fears and use her imagination, tenacity and courage to save the day? This book was exciting to read, the illustrations are just as fun, the characters are mad capped. This would be great if this was the start of a series.
