Freaks Ahoy

LEIGH HOBBS: AUSTRALIA’S CHILDREN’S LAUREATE 2016-17

In 4F for Freaks Miss Corker came up with a great idea for tricking 4F into obedience, but in this hilarious sequel, she finds her disguise has stuck and it looks like she’ll be Miss Schnorkel forever. With One-Eyed Eileen on the case to unmask her, and a rendezvous with a boatload of teachers on long-service leave, Freaks Ahoy! is hilarious entertainment for young and old.

4F are all at sea. Who’d have thought so many Freaks could fit on a boat?
