Fearless Fitzroy: Sprinters Series

By Kathy Henderson
Illustrated by Alex Merry

A funny new title in the popular new-look Sprinters series.

Fitzroy works in the Famous Chocolate Biscuits warehouse – if you can call it work. In fact, he sleeps so much that mouse parents for miles around think he is perfect as cat practice for their mouselets. But when the factory owner arrives, a whisker-pulling accident gives Fitzroy the fright of his life – and ends up saving him his job!

  • An ideal book for those just learning to read alone.
  • "Low on words, high on high jinks … each book has a rip-roaring story by a top author." The Young Telegraph (on the Sprinters series)
