this is my first Danny dingle book and i really enjoyed it. it is perfect for the audience it is aimed at . full of humour , two best friends going on adventures.. farting and lots of fun.

I think it will definitely enocurage childnre to read more

this book appears targeted to that incredibly difficult-to-write-for age group, 7-12 year olds. nicely illustrated, amusing, science-y story about a boy's time at summer camp. includes fun activities for readers to try. annoying use of font size and styles,.

GREat read for kids. My son enjoyed it and we would read others

I really enjoyed this book and gave it four stars!
The humour is perfect for young children, after all, which young child doesn't love fart and burp humour!
Very funny in places and can see it becoming a firm hit.

My son absolutely loved this book, and I can see it appealing to a wide range of readers. He was fully engaged in the plot. I will watch out for more by this author.

I really enjoyed this book. I think the humor is perfect to draw in many children and keep them reading. I mean, honestly, who can resist burps and fart humor?! My eight-year-old son read this over my shoulder and laughed manically so this is a winner for me! This will be put in my home library very shortly.

My 10 year old daughter liked this book very much. She said it was funny and silly.

My children thoroughly enjoyed this tale, thank you

Lovely book for young readers with an engaging story full of adventure and thrill. I loved it and would recommend it to every young reader.

My grandson gave this one two thumbs up and got a promise from me to get him the next one. Not only that, he also asked his teacher if she would put it on the class reading list, that way his classmates could read it too and they would get to do their reading circle discussion on one of his new favorites. Coming from a nine year old, that's some rave review.

This book was lighthearted and fun. I can see it being a big success with children. Being a big kid myself I loved it.

This middle grade reader is packed with many things that will certainly appeal to even the most reluctant readers - secrets, humour, bodily functions, camping and even a raft race. It stars two best friends, Danny and Percy, and tells of their adventures as they join the Scouts. Danny is the narrator of the story and Percy is his forever being sick sidekick. Together the two get up to some awesome antics. Get ready for their first venture to scout camp in an anything but sunny Scotland, with their inept Scout leader, Mr Geoffrey. Discover why he likes to set them on peeling potatoes! Journey to visit the secret hideout of a super spy and enter a competition to create a raft. Their rival and enemy, Gareth Trumpshaw, has also joined the scouts - but a different group - so it is even more important that the duo win!

The story is filled with farts and sick, males who seem incapable of doing anything right, and Danny’s Mum who definitely is in charge. The other female characters are also strong and admirable including a lady lorry driver who is a rally winner and friends who are competent and not at all wimpy - political correctness rules!

The book is illustrated throughout, even some words are highlighted by their presentation as drawings. The vocabulary used, presentation and story line are likely to appeal to children and the length of the book makes it an entertaining read (probably for an hour or so). It also includes missions for readers to complete after reading the book and these could prove lots of additional fun.

Definitely a fun filled, humorously illustrated, story worth checking out by teachers and parents of middle grade readers, probably appealing to children around 9 years old of either gender.

Many thanks to the publishers for gifting me a copy of this novel, via NetGalley, with no obligation. This is my honest review.

Loved the fun illustrations and amusing text. Perfect for reluctant readers, lovers of a good joke, younger readers or anyone with a sense of irreverence and fun.

Really enjoyed reading this with my 6 year old son. Laughed so much we almost had an accident!!!!

Might be alright, but is completely unreadable on Adobe Digital Editions, where you can only see the top third of any page, if that.

As it turns out, this is not my cup of tea when it comes to middle-grade books. But I suspect that it will work really well for upper primary school age boys - it's got farting, toads, inventions, a disasterous camping trip, parents who Don't Understand and embarrasing grandparents. May well fill that Wimpy kid shaped gap for a middle-grader.

Sorry, I was unable to download this book as the ePub format won't open in Overdrive on my iPhone or iPad.

The illustrations in this book are great. I liked the idea of Danny Dingle collecting everything that could possibly be of any use at all in any super-secret-spy thing that he might choose to create (or things that just looked “really cool”). Danny is a bit like a Womble with a Blue Peter fixation. Something he seems to have inherited from his father and grandfather. Superdog, cunningly disguised as a toad, was another good idea.
But, somehow, this book did not appeal to me as much as I had expected. There were too many fart jokes (some are undoubtedly necessary), far too much vomiting, and the grown-ups were all weird (need to have at least some that act like proper adults).
Maybe I need to be a young boy to properly appreciate this book.

My 9 yr old daughter really enjoyed this and will be looking for more from this author
