Hooey Higgins and the Shark by Steve Voake (author) (UK edition)

In the town of Shrimpton-on-Sea, three scruffy boys are running riot. But what with trying to catch a shark in a flowered duvet-cover, are Hooey and his friends biting off more than they can chew? It all starts when Hooey, Twig, Will and Dingbat spot an enormous chocolate egg for sale in a shop window. They’ve just got to have it – but it costs £65! Meanwhile, a shark has been spotted in Shrimpton’s bay, and now there’s a price on its head! If they can catch the latter, they can buy the former – right? A rib-tickling romp full of silly antics and funny pictures, set in a town where nothing is ever quite normal!
