Review of Frankie Best Hates Quests by Chris Smith.

This book is brilliant! If you want a hilarious, light-hearted fantasy read then this is the perfect book for you!

Frankie Best absolutely hates magic and any kinds of mythical lands or fantastical creatures. When she is sent to spend a week at her grandad’s, Frankie is fuming. She’d much rather spend time with her friends and her phone, thank you very much! And things only get worse when Grandad is kidnapped through a magical portal in his attic.  Frankie and her little brother Joel have to enter the magical kingdom of Parallelia to save him. With the help of a knelf, a gnoblin and justice Justice they will have to fight some pretty nasty baddies and have quite a few interesting encounters along the way.
Come and join The Fellowship of the Bacon Roll!
