'A perfect read for reluctant readers with a zany sense of humour' [Sunday Star Times]. 'Once again, Leigh Hobbs has created a wicked but loveable set of characters. Packed with loads of drama, conflict and suspense, this is a real page turner, guaranteed to deliver a laugh on every page for both children and adults. And, to top it off, there's an exciting twist at the end. A daring and satirical book ...this is sure to be a big hit.' [Deidre Rabel, Midwest Book Review, USA]. 'one of the most profound, moving and monumental children's books that has ever been written. This never-before-told story of grade 4F will change your life. A classroom of freaks is an inspired idea allows his anarchic and outrageous funny drawings to carry the day.' [The Age]. '4F for freaks Hobbs's skill as artist and author is evident here. He has created a cast of unpleasant characters who appeal even as they repel. He uses alliteration and rhyme to powerful effect. The conclusion is superb, with a twist that leaves the reader pondering who has really won.' [Sunday Morning Herald].
