Review
Have you got the Fizzle? Well you won't know until you read the book. It is absolutely brilliant. Set in the country side Shipley Manor is really an outstanding building and has wonderful secrets.
Tom lands a job there and really enjoys it, he is the son of a bank clerk and there is only him and his father - his mother died rescuing a swimmer in the sea - so dad has said that they will survive as long as the follow the rules. The three 'R' Rules, Responsibility and Respect then everything will be well.
Tom loves his new job working at Shipley Manor and tries to go by the rules his father has set him until something happens. But my lips are sealed so no one will get the answers out of me.
I loved this book the speed of the story, the way it is written and the fun and frolics that happen all through the book.
