My favourite characters in this story are Gabz and Alfie because they stick together. I’m not so keen on Miss Root and her cat as they steal teeth from the pillows of all the little children! I actually like Alfie the best.
Miss Root and her cat Fang wait until all of the little children, who put teeth under their pillows for the tooth fairy, have gone to bed and they steal them away, leaving horrible things behind instead.
Alfie and Gabz try to stop this. Alfie’s Dad tries to save him and Gabz but it goes terribly wrong. This part of the book was very hard to read.
I really enjoyed this book as it was full of fun and adventure which I could relate to. I felt sorry for all of the small children who have their teeth stolen as I would be very sad if that happened to me!
My favourite part in the book was when Alfie and Gabz and Alfie’s Dad give chase on a steam train which has TNT on the side as it added more excitement to the adventure.
I would recommend this book to any reader from nine years old and upwards as it is full of fun and excitement.
