Über diesen Titel

Críticas

Beautifully illustrated in a manner that puts you in mind of a less angular Quentin Blake, this is an enjoyable little yarn that should particularly appeal to children with an affinity for the Caribbean. (All Out Cricket)

Bob Cattell 'teams up' with the irrepressible John Agard in this hugely entertaining and sometimes provocative book. Brian Lara appears as a cricketing guide and we meet up with Sir Viv Richards, Clive Lloyd, Michael Holding and Gary Sobers in wwhat provesa to be a real festival of fun. (Carousel)

A joyous tale which will out a smile on the face of its readers. (School Librarian)

Reseña del editor

A rising young star known across the Caribbean, Riccardo - Butter-Finger to his fans - visits London for the first time to sing in the London Caribbean Festival at the Royal Festival Hall in front of thousands. He's also hoping to see the West Indies play at Lords Cricket Ground, but most of all he hopes to find out about his father who left home for London years ago and with whom he has lost touch. Meanwhile back at home, his friends in the Calypso Cricket Club are facing their biggest challenge ever when they play in Trinidad for the Valentine Shield.

Riccardo's time in the big city is even more exciting than he could imagine as he encounters stars of music and cricket and discovers the secret of his father's disappearance in this hugely entertaining and richly plotted story.
