This selection brought back so many fond memories of sneaking a peek at my brother's Beano comics when I was much younger.
He used to get them every week and I couldn't help having a read and a laugh at all the brilliant escapades that Dennis, Gnasher and the whole gang got up to.
Gnasher was obviously my favourite character - but I loved them all really!
In these stories, we are treated to more mischievous capers and lots of the usual toilet humour.
I love how they cater for the youngsters who are just starting out on their reading journeys, with lots of silliness and scenes that will be relatable to the target audience.
But I also loved that there were lots of things that were aimed at older kids and even those parents who are either reading along with their children - or sneaking a look when they're in bed!
The writers have done a great job of keeping the stories similar to the old comics - the characters felt authentic to those I read about over 40 years ago (and probably those predating me too!) - but also infused the plots with modern sayings, items and events that would be relatable to youngsters of today.
A brilliant selection that had me chortling the whole way through. This would be perfect to keep the kids quiet on those longer journeys or to pop on at home for something a bit different to do during the holidays.

The 5th in Craig Graham and Mike Stirling’s “Boomic” Beano spin-off series for readers aged 8+ is a spooky affair filled with more snot than you can shake a Kleenex at. Nigel Parkinson’s illustrations work well with the text and although some of the characters look different to when I read the comics *cough cough* years ago but that’s no bad thing. This is a great, silly series that would work well with reluctant readers.

This was a very scooby doo esque story where the villain of the piece is scuppered by those pesky kids.
The adventure was probably the best of the lot so far and this series is definitely one I'd recommend to kids and Beano fans alike
