John Allison's stories are clearly meant for children, but they are charming and slyly subversive in way that appeals to all ages.

Really more of a 3.5-- I enjoy these comics, and they are definitely entertaining, but I don't quite feel a LOVE LOVE LOVE EVERYONE MUST READ THESE kind of vibe. Still, a lot of fun. I'm not falling over myself to get the next book, but I'll definitely check it out whenever my library gets it.

also Sonny is my child

(Sonny: *casually makes flower crown for self*
Linton: "Sonny, take that off. Someone'll thump the dinner out of you."
Sonny: *totally ignores him and continues wearing flower crown*)

My favorite, thus far. In addition to being funny and weird, this one was genuinely sweet.

Love it. If Famous Five was a comic book this would be it, but better.

I like the Bad Machinery comics better when they're about weird, possibly supernatural stuff. I love the bits about Mildred building a ramp and charging people to ride their bikes off it. And Charlotte is, as always, fantastically bonkers.

I love these mystery solving tweens and their adventures! This one involves a firebug and a troll-man, Mildred building the most amazing ramp ever, plus Jack and Shauna DATING. I love the art so so so much, too.

God, I love Bad Machinery. Fantastic situations starring some realistic yet charming teens.
