Georges Marvellous Medicine
This book is a funny read
It’s about a boy who’s called George, his Nan has come to look after him, but she isn’t nice and is getting on his nerves, ordering him around and telling him to stop growing. she’s generally stroppy and horrible and needs a taste of her own medicine and maybe make her nicer. George made 4 types of experimental ‘medicine’ He put shoe polish and other horrible things including a treatment for bullocks, which made me laugh because I thought it said “b*ll*cks” I told mum and she said “NOOOOOO! its bullocks!” oh dear…
George mixed all those horrible things up and tricked his Nan to drink medicine 1 thinking it was her medicine she was taking. eeeeeeuuuwwwwwwww
A few seconds after consumption she shot through the roof, literally! Because she’d grown massive in size (his dad wanted some more to grow humongous livestock for auction but George couldn’t make it again) George then gave her another concoction of ‘medicine’ which she thought was a cup of tea. This time she got smaller and smaller and finally disappeared!
It was such a funny book I couldn’t put it down and it really did make me laugh out loud. The characters really came alive. It was an easy read
I would recommend it. H
