Description
The third side-splittingly funny book in a series for very brave readers Well, that old roo-de-lally Mr Gum and the hideous Billy William the Third are once more mucking things up for everyone. They're a-schemin' and a-hatchin' an' making their bad plans up on Goblin Mountain. And why? Because they're raising up an army of goblins to stink up the town of Lamonic Bibber once and for all! Can the brave travelers (the wise old man Friday O'Leary and the small girl Polly) make it past the Three Impossible Challenges of Goblin Mountain and save the town from a fate worse than something very bad indeed? In an epic tale of courage, valor, and plain idiocy only one thing is sure: The truth is a lemon meringue!

This is the 3rd in the Mr Gum series and is just as wacky and hilarious as the other books. Mr Gum is a thoroughly nasty man who live in Lamonic Bibber and in this book he has installed himself as the King of the goblins on Goblin Hill. Not knowing this, Polly and Friday climb Goblin Hill to battle
Their outlandish adventure is reminiscent of Spike Milligan’s BadJelly the Witch and would suit readers aged 7 and up.

Main character is a girl
More of the same my gum.
The story is the return of Mr gum to the town and his intention of taking over the town with his hord of goblins (that he found in a cave just outside of the town. If you liked the previous books you will also like this. In terms of series
The only disappointment was the interesting lists at the end of the others books did not happen in this one.
