Danny Dingle's Fantastic Finds: Books 1–3

Editor's Note

Danny Dingle has big ideas, questionable inventions and a remarkable ability to turn an ordinary day into complete chaos. Danny Dingle's Fantastic Finds combines comic-style illustrations, diary-like storytelling and fast-moving adventures to create a series that feels playful from the moment the page is opened. Danny and his best friend Percy are enthusiastic inventors, although their creations do not always behave quite as intended. Across the first three books, experiments, rivalries and increasingly ambitious plans keep the stories moving at a lively pace. The combination of short sections, visual humour and wonderfully silly situations makes this a particularly approachable series for children beginning to read longer books independently.

Why We Selected This Book

Because sometimes the book that creates a reader is simply the one that makes them want to turn the next page. We selected Danny Dingle's Fantastic Finds for its ability to make reading feel energetic, funny and unintimidating. The illustrations break up the text, the humour arrives quickly and there is always another invention, disaster or ridiculous idea waiting around the corner. It is an especially appealing collection for children moving from heavily illustrated books towards longer chapter books — and for readers who may not yet think of themselves as enthusiastic bookworms. Having the first three adventures together also gives young readers the chance to discover the characters and immediately continue with the next story.

Who Will Enjoy This Book

• Young readers who enjoy inventions, experiments, gadgets and gloriously silly ideas.
• Children who like humorous, highly illustrated books with a diary or comic-book feel.
• Developing independent readers who are ready for chapter books but still appreciate plenty of visual storytelling.
• Fans of mischievous characters, friendship, school adventures and stories where plans rarely go according to plan.
• Parents looking for an engaging series for children who can sometimes be reluctant to pick up a longer book.
