About the Books. The collection begins with The Legend of Kevin, when a magical storm sends a roly-poly flying pony crashing into Max's flat, triggering a flood that only the pair can fix, fuelled by biscuits. In Kevin and the Biscuit Bandit, biscuit thefts sweep Bumbleford and all clues point to Kevin, forcing the pair on the run to clear his name. Kevin vs the Unicorns sees the pair entering the Magical Pony Club Steeplechase, where Kevin must race snobby unicorns despite having no interest in racing. Finally, in Kevin's Great Escape, pop star Misty Twiglet takes a shine to Kevin, but when he's captured in her garden, Max and sister Daisy must rescue him. Across all four stories, Philip Reeve's witty, rhythmic prose and Sarah McIntyre's lively illustrations combine to create a hugely appealing series for children moving into longer, illustrated chapter books. Each story is short enough to build reading confidence, yet full of jokes, cliffhangers and larger-than-life characters that keep young readers hooked from cover to cover - a brilliant next step for fans of funny animal stories and quirky, character-driven adventures..
