Illustrated by
Hannah Shaw.
In these seven connected short stories, ordinary kid Archie always seems to be in the middle of crazy events, but his mother, unaware of the exciting happenings, is only exasperated that he has failed to complete his errands. Accompanied by humorous illustrations, this British import is easy enough for young chapter-book readers but complicated enough to tickle those who love mystery.
