Nick Hornby, author of About A Boy, has had some very kind things to say about Andy Stanton‘s Mr. Gum books, which began back in 2006 with You’re a Bad Man, Mr Gum! In an interview with Publishers Weekly, Hornby says that  ‘There are many, many things about the Mr. Gum series I loved, but above all, it got my boys, aged eight and seven at the time, interested in books. Or rather, it got my boys interested in Mr. Gum books.’
