About this listen

Read by Miriam Margoyles.

Fact: A Goon is a being who melts into the foreground and sticks there…

When the Goon turns up demanding "Archer’s two thousand", life turns upside-down. As Howard desperately tries to get to the bottom of this peculiar demand, he discovers that the town is run by seven crazy wizards (not all of whom live in the present!) and someone is trying to take over the world!

Exciting, bizarre and truly hilarious! Listening fun for all the family.

What the critics say

“…Her hallmarks include laugh-aloud humour, plenty of magic and imaginative array of alternate worlds. Yet, at the same time, a great seriousness is present in all of her novels, a sense of urgency that links Jones’s most outrageous plots to her readers’ hopes and fears…”

An excellent book from a renowned author, the narrator understands the characters perfectly and voices them quite well. Strangest thing, though, I could have sworn there were more scenes...

A classic kids’ book told excellently
