Synopsis
Fintan Fedora is the world's worst explorer.

Can Fintan dodge the angry gangsters and kung fu fighters and bring back the treasure?
My Review
I read book 1 in this series over 2 years ago now but it has stayed with me and I still recommend it to people, so when I found out there was a second book I knew I had to read it. I ordered it at the library and waited for it to come in. I have been working my way through a series of books by Will Hill, but they are too big to carry in my handbag, so on my way out yesterday I grabbed this book and popped it in my bag (I never go out anywhere without a book on me).
I ended up getting there early and had 20 minutes to sit and wait, I pulled this book out and read the first 61 pages in that time and struggled to put it down.
These books are pure delight, so full of fun and sillyness- it will make you laugh out loud and groan at the cheesyness - but in a good way.
I picked it up again this morning and got straight back into it. I finished it within a couple of hours overall, it was just as charming as the first book and full of witty, sarcastic humour.
I really enjoyed reading it and think Fintan is a real treasure of a character.
This would be a great series to give to a book group, would create some good discussions with the children.
I hope there will be more to come in this series.
