The theatre troupe is looking every bit as nasty as you’d imagine them to be, but still a little too abstract for my liking.

>!They both sing annoying songs, interfere with the life of a crotchety criminal, use physical exercise to bully others, have a terrible red-adjacent haircut (it’s a children’s book, haircuts are genetic), don’t stop skipping, don’t stop smiling and would be obnoxious irl.!<

Theory confirmed.

i’m so excited to read them, but I just don’t have time. I’ve watched the show twice again. Don’t have time to watch the movie but I will maybe before I read the books, but I’m just so excited.

Managed to find first editions of 2, 6 and 9 in second hand shops, and my copy of The End was purchased soon after it came out when I was a boy, also first edition!

Interestingly, 6 and 9 have blank covers without the Helquist art or title on the front, so maybe they originally had dustcovers? Would love to know if anyone knows.

Have recently bought new copies of 1, 3, and most recently 5 since the friendly local bookshop didn’t have 4 on hand when I went in.

Would love to know if anyone knows.
