Faster, Lola, Faster!
All the best stories end in disaster, don’t they?
If, like most kids, you love tales where everything goes wrong, you’ll enjoy every moment of ‘Faster, Lola, Faster!’

You’ll bump into little Lola out on her bike, who is Public Enemy Number One on the neighbourhood pavements; Konstantin, who’d much rather be running about on his own than holding his mother’s hand; Lisa, who adamantly refuses to brush her teeth: at first, you’ll think they are all quite normal. Just you wait and see …
- Fright and delight are combined with a mischievous touch of schadenfreude in this fascinating book for fearless kids and faint-hearted parents – or should that be the other way round?
