Lovereading have picked a Mr Gum title as one of their top books of 2007. Mr Gum and the Goblins has been picked as one of the year’s highlights:

‘And finally, our Books of the Year. It was amazingly hard to choose – we’ve read hundreds -, but we think we’ve done a good job of selecting our top 25 or so extra-special books. Buy them for your kids, or for yourself – these are the kind of books with universal appeal. And, if really pushed, our favourites are Augustus and his Smile, Mr Gum and the Goblins, Fight Game, Dragonsdale, Fearless and Waves.’
