      This book overflows with good humour!

      If you live in Boring Bay, you might think that nothing ever happens, well at least nothing that is out of the ordinary. Think again, as the primary school has a teacher who is uniquely different. �My Teacher is a Space Slug� is the first book I read from the brand new �Top Secret Book Series� and I was hooked right from the start. To say that my six-year-old loved it would be an understatement. Francesca Watt is a brilliant author and illustrator, and her new book proves her immense talent to perfection.


      My opinion:


      This is such a creative book! I read it to my daughter and we both laughed our hearts out. My daughter has just started school and she has the wildest imagination, so she immediately started to imagine how it would be if her own teacher was a space slug. I loved the story just as much and I think Mrs Mantle is just the most interesting teacher I have ever seen, with teaching skills that are out of this world, if you know what I mean. After all, her slimy secret might not be as secret as expected, especially since someone has figured out who she really is.


      Having read the other books written by this author, I was not surprised to see another story that is original and creative. The story is written in rhyme, and it contains so many clever details, not to mention funny bits. Tentacles that look like buns, a sluggish mantle that oozes space dust, a purple glow� she is not like any other teacher I have ever seen, but I love her nonetheless. Someone is bound to uncover her secret, but who? As always, no spoilers, I encourage you to read the book in order to find out how the story turns out.


      With a small kid at home, I am always on the lookout for books that are unique, and I always come back to the books written by this author with pleasure. They are really fun to read, not just for my daughter, but also for my inner child. I absolutely loved Mrs Mantle and her story, and I am confident that the other books in the series will be just as incredible. There are also some valuable lessons to learn from this otherwise funny book, sprinkled with care. In my opinion, this is the kind of book that leaves you with a feel-good sentiment.


      Summary:


      This is one cool book! I loved the concept and the illustrations, and I think that Mrs Mantle is indeed a space slug. My daughter enjoyed the story quite a lot and she is now trying to determine if her own teacher could be something like that. The best books are the ones that delight children once, then invite them to journey into their own imagination. Francesca Watt is a brilliant author and illustrator, and we are always delighted to read one of her books. This new series is great, I am excited to check out the next book. Top secret!

      Out of this world adventure!

      Prepare for another exhilarating adventure with the latest addition to the Top Secret Book Series! In this book, a peculiar suspicion emerges: Could your teacher secretly be a space slug in disguise? There are some subtle clues, such as mysterious tentacles making unexpected appearances, peculiar space dust oozing from unexpected places, and even rumours of extraterrestrial eggs hidden beneath the teacher's desk. It's a mind-boggling mystery that's almost too outrageous to believe!

      I love this style of illustrations, it�s almost like reading a comic which kids love. It�s easy for them to read and it�s a funny, entertaining story.

      Get ready for a hilariously entertaining tale that will keep kids eagerly turning the pages. It is a must-read for those who love a hearty laugh, and the thrill of uncovering secrets in the most unexpected places. Buckle up for an out-of-this-world adventure that's bound to leave kids grinning from ear to ear.

      Hilarious! So much fun!

      What�s more fun than imagining your teacher is a giant slug from out of space?! This book is so much fun! Kids are going to love all the weird and wacky things this teacher is able to do, like beaming books up to the shelves and firing lasers across the school. This is the third book in this series that I�ve read and I�m a big fan of the comic strip style the author�s used - it�s so readable for young children and will really appeal to reluctant readers too. The illustrations are as funny as the story and I highly recommend reading the other books in this series as well. They�re all fab!

      Top Secret Teacher!

      Be prepared for silly humour and incredible illustrations when reading My Teacher is a Space Slug, Book 1 of the Top Secret book series. This super-funny rhyming book, illustrated in graphic novel format, will have children giggling throughout the story. Is teacher Mrs. Mantle really a space slug, or does one of her students have a wild imagination? Will her secret be revealed? Read the story and find out. This book was so much fun to read, and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the books in this series. Both children and adults will love it.

      Another brilliant story in the Top Secret series!

      This story is so fun - it builds and builds with lots of clues that the kid�s teacher really is a space slug - she leaves a trail of goo, she can levitate books, she sprinkles space dust and can even shoot lasers from her back. And those hair buns of hers are definitely tentacles! The question is, why has she come to planet Earth?! So engaging with fabulous illustrations, created in a comic-strip style. We love this series!
