Pizza Power

The outrageously funny adventures of Mark Anchovy, pizza delivery boy and private detective, continue in his third mission - to Japan.

'LOVE this proper funny series ... Funny, fast-paced adventure with loads of cheese (the good kind!).' - Pamela Butchart

As a pizza detective, Colin Kingsley AKA Mark Anchovy has survived murderous criminals, bloodthirsty henchmen, and some questionable modes of transport. He now has a much more worrying problem: his younger sister is working as his apprentice.

Coaching seven-year-old Alicia for her exams to join the Golden Spatula League would be challenging enough. But the siblings must head to Japan to track down the missing English eccentric Lord Bobo - former host of the hit 90s gameshow, 'Battered by the Butler' - before he winds up dead.

Their search takes them from the bright lights of Tokyo to the eerie calm of Niseshima Island, where an exclusive school for billionaires may hold the key. As disasters mount, the pair are threatened with expulsion from the G.S.L. Standing in their way are a trio of assassins, a pernickety PA, and a killer robot fridge.

Fantastically funny and clever, the third in the hapless young detective's adventures is brilliantly illustrated throughout.
