Some good stories amongst a few that felt rushed or half hearted.

[Ren · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kids night in, is a collection of stories, great and even greaterer, by so many renowned authors, from he crazy antics of morris gleitzman to the more serious tales of Garth nix and everthing in between, all three of these books make for a fantastic read whenever you decide to have a "kids night in"
