Secret Agent Jason Mason is back, but this time he's up the Eiffel Tower, without an emergency parachute. In this newest adventure, Jason has been whipped away from Aotearoa, into the undersea headquarters of the very seriously named organisation BURP. He and Agent Rātana are working together again, but this time they need to track down the elusive international baddy Lou Paper.
What follows is a fast-paced and funny adventure for younger readers.
Well-known children's television personality Jason Gunn teams up with his brother Andrew again for the third in the Jason Mason series.
Readers already familiar with Mason's adventures will know what they're in for - plenty of action, lots of laughs, and of course, lots of toilet humour.
The story is interspersed with lots of little sketches and font changes throughout the book. It is certainly designed to capture those readers who might be more reluctant to pick up a book. The book's exciting visual elements, combined with a fast-paced story and short chapters, will capture reader's interests and varied learning styles.
The Jason Mason books are perfectly pitched for younger readers - the Gunn brothers have created a winning series. The characters are relatable and quintessentially Kiwi, the action is addictive and the humour is spot-on. Readers of all spots and stripes - from voracious to reluctant - will love this book.
