Waterstones Says

A rollicking, side-splitting adventure from the CBeebies star, Nora and the Map of Mayhem finds siblings Atticus and Autumn whisked off on a whirlwind escapade by their eccentric great-grandmother.

An outrageously funny new children's book from award-winning author Joseph Elliott, star of CBeebies' Swashbuckle and CBBC's Big Fat Like.

When Atticus and Autumn's dads leave them with their eccentric great-grandmother Nora for the weekend, they're hoping for a few days scoffing biscuits and playing video games. But when Nora's around, nothing ever goes quite to plan...

After a stranger from Nora's past leaves a menacing note pinned to her front door, Atticus and Autumn are swept away on a hair-raising adventure dodging snot-flinging sea monsters, battling thunderous electrosquibs and trying to escape from a very flappy goose!

Complete with wild and joyful illustrations from Nici Gregory, this rip-roaring tale is perfect for readers aged 8 and up!

MEDIA REVIEWS

A snort-out-loud, anarchic 8+ farce, with deft illustrations and an unforgettable octogenarian narrator. - The Guardian

This very funny story would be excellent to read aloud, as there are lots of asides to the reader. Nici Gregory's brilliant illustrations are scattered throughout, making this a very appealing book to read. Overall, a hoot. - BookTrust

This explosion of hilarity and hair-raising comedy is a sure-fire winner from start to finish - Pam Norfolk, Lancashire Evening Post

Fabulously written, Nora and the Map of Mayhem is a great read for any child in primary school who loves pirates, monsters and comedy! - School Reading List

Utterly engaging and frequently mischievous, this book will be devoured by young readers with an imagination. - Children's Books Ireland

Interspersed with wildly imaginative, nail-biting pandemonium, Nora and the Map of Mayhem provides sparkling entertainment. A book that will win over the most reluctant 8+ year old. - Armadillo Magazine

A really funny rip-roaring tale that's sure to delight - WRD Magazine

I honestly haven't laughed so much [...] Honestly this book is a real treasure, I just know you all will love reading it, having a good laugh! - BookRead2Day

I was chuckling from page 1 [...] I can think of so many children who will lap this up and be desperate for more. Nici's illustrations are brilliant too and so witty - Check 'Em Out Books

I LOVE IT! Nora is hilarious and wild and a terrible influence on children. Exactly the kind of anarchy I love. - Louie Stowell, author of LOKI
