Following her joyful debut, 'Moojag and the Auticode Secret', N.E. McMorran takes us on another deliciously sticky adventure, as Nema, Moojag and a trio of super grannies join forces to unravel a dastardly plot that threatens the very soul of Gajoomdom and beyond.
Once again, McMorran welcomes us into a veritable sweetshop of vibrant characters and story twists to delight children of all ages and neuro-sensibilities. Above all, however, while we're never very far from the spiky anarchy of a Roald Dahl or David Walliams, there's a life-affirming humanity baked throughout here, as indelibly marked as the inside of a stick of rock (or Gajoomstik).
"Moojag and the Lost Memories' more than meets expectations raised by the first instalment, and if you still haven't stepped into the fantastically imaginative world of Gajoomdom, then you're in for a treat!
