By the crimson underpants of Noctis- Forest Frenzy was a fast-paced frolic! We leafed through it in record time this morning.
This is book 5 of the fantastic ‘Dungeon Runners’ series by Kieran Larwood and illustrated by Joe Todd Stanton.
Triple Trouble have been promoted to the Tryhard League and for their first challenge they’re off to the Neverleaf Forest, which is as perilous as it is beautiful. A new league presents a host of new rivals.
Before they even set foot into the arena, they realise they’re in the crosshairs of at least two of the opposing teams! Their arch-rivals, the Trogton Terrors have had an upgrade and look fearsome, and there’s something peculiarly familiar about the Mystery Crew’s brand of animosity.
Speaking of brands, Triple Trouble, have a new utilitarian sponsor, which is ever so slightly more glam than troll bogeys and orc perfume. But, will the more fancy trappings that come with the sponsorship prove to be a double edged utensil? 🥴
Chapter 4 was even a 4D reading experience as my daughter’s sticky little fingers drew some of the ink off the pages and ended smeared all over her face somehow mimicking the inky experiences of our favourite heroes 😂
We are huge Thorn fans and, be-leaf it or not- his puns here are cheesier than new team, Cheese Force’s home, Fondue City!
Fast, action scenes and quirky characterisation delivered through snappy, witty prose, scattered liberally with lovely figurative language. This series offers young readers so much and it looks like we might be off to Mount Flambo for book 6?!

This series is very quickly becoming a favourite in my classroom, so I was happy to pick up book 5! This book sees our favourites taking on a brand new, tougher league with new teams and new dungeons! In this one, we meet some forest friends, some sticky sap, a hive of angry bees and a library ticket! Great fun and I adore the illustrations.
