Spiderface William Mobberley

Awarded 8 and a half stars out of ten by the Fantasy Book Review Website, William Mobberley's Spiderface is a fantasy comedy, both bizarre and hilarious. Bert Grubbings is a no-nonsense, down-to-earth Northerner, struggling to cope with the extraordinary cards life has dealt him - and what a hand! Of his four tragically-deformed children, one has left home in disgrace, another is too fat to answer the door, a third has spent ten years in a freezer while eldest son Spiderface has six eyes and a furry head! After a three-year absence, Spiderface has returned home because there is something growing in his bedroom and it's due to hatch soon... Meanwhile, the bewildering array of misfits who attend the Northernville Affirmation Group have a mystery to solve: How on earth did a priceless gem end up in Baroness Blart's loo? Throw into the mix Al Jolson, a man from the ministry wandering around with a geiger counter, a midget burglar, not to mention the bottom-slapping inventor of climbing robots, Jimbo Mambo and the town of Northernville starts to sound like a very odd place indeed. Is this the craziest book ever written? You be the judge as you read Spiderface, the hilarious fantasy comedy."You have written a very funny book but I would be too embarrassed to show it my friends." The author's mother.
