4F are all at sea. Who'd have thought so many Freaks could fit on a boat?



'This time Hobbs has gone too far!' Fenella Frump, Librarian, Tasmania



'More worrying than the first one.' Winton Windbag, Teaching Today Quarterly



Praise for 4F for Freaks:'a world of barely contained anarchy, borderline menace and irresistible humour It's reassuring to think that the truly anarchic tradition in children's literature is still being honoured' Brisbane's Child, Sydney's Child



'Once again, Leigh Hobbs has created a wicked but loveable set of characters. Packed with loads of drama, conflict and suspense, this is a real page turner, guaranteed to deliver a laugh on every page for both children and adults. And, to top it off, there's an exciting twist at the end. A daring and satirical book ...this is sure to be a big hit.' Deidre Rabel, Midwest Book Review (USA)



'a perfect read for reluctant readers with a zany sense of humour' Sunday Star Times



'one of the most profound, moving and monumental children's books that has ever been written. This never-before-told story of grade 4F will change your life A classroom of freaks is an inspired idea allows his anarchic and outrageous funny drawings to carry the day.' The Age



'In magnificent, minimal sketches the pupils of 4F leap from the pen of Melbourne illustrator and author Leigh Hobbs and elbow their way on to the page Parents are likely to enjoy the cleverness of the drawings and text as much as children.' Courier Mail
