The Lovereading comment:
Written as fiction but chock full with fact, this is a brilliant mix that will ensure kids learn a lot about the environment, about greenhouse gases and about the world but in a very entertaining way and all because Connor'sfamily home is too small and his dad challenges him and his brothers to make the 'best' den and in return win themselves a bedroom that doesn't have to be shared. Brilliant. Shortlisted too, for the award that really matters - the Blue Peter Award (Best Factual book) - as the shortlist is chosen by children.
