Description

OLD books get NEW doodles – it's the classics as you've never seen them before!

A hilarious graphic novel series that brings the classics to life with illustrations by Jack Noel. Perfect for fans of Tom Gates, Wimpy Kid and Dav Pilkey. And Charles Dickens.

WHAT THE DICKENS?

Ten-year-old Pip gets the fright of his life when he meets an escaped convict in a spooky graveyard. And that's just the beginning of an adventure that will lead him to a house full of secrets, a strange old lady and a journey to the big city to seek his fortune. But Pip is in for a BIG surprise …

Join Pip in a rip-roaring story of family secrets, scary grannies and a REALLY annoying big sister in COMIC CLASSICS: GREAT EXPECTATIONS by Charles Dickens and Jack Noel.

Reviews

A funny, thought-provoking treat, it’s the ideal way into [Dickens]', Imogen Russell Williams, Guardian

'Buy a copy of Jack Noel’s retelling of Great Expectations before I set the dogs on you. Now, begone!', Philip Ardagh, Roald Dahl Funny Prize-winning author

'It is BRILLIANT!', Jenny Pearson, author of The Super Miraculous Journey of Freddie Yates

'Jack Noel’s brilliantly witty art perfectly complements Dickens’ Great Expectations, making this a fab KS2 text to sit alongside the classic. Brilliant for dyslexic kids who may struggle with Dickens' prose . . . this book could bring a generation of kids to the classics', Abi Elphinstone, author of Rumblestar, Sky Song and the Dreamsnatcher trilogy

PRAISE FOR TREASURE ISLAND:

‘Hilarious! Jack Noel is a star’ Jim Smith, author of the bestselling Barry Loser series
