A thoroughly enjoyable book to read, 07 Jan 2001
This is the first Just William book I have read and I thorougly enjoyed it. This book contains ten stories all about an eleven year old called William and the trouble he gets up to at Christmas. William is the leader of a gang called the "Outlaws", who all go to the same school and live in the same village. The other gang members are called Ginger, Douglas and Henry. There are some very funny parts, such as, when William made a plant pot out of his sister's best hat or when he climbed a tree pretending to be an arab looking over a desert, sitting in a palm tree. But below him a Professor thought that he had found the place where a martian was going to land. William fell out of the tree and the Professor mistook him for a martian. You can imagine being William getting into some of the trouble that he does because it is quite true to life and the authors style of writing paints a picture in your mind of William and his gang getting up to mischief. Once you start reading this book it is hard to put it down until you have read it all.
